My Windows 10, desktop machine got hit last night by Cryptolocker (or a variant that's around)
(EDIT: I found out it is the PClock ransomware virus.)
It encrypts video, pictures, and documents...plus some other files including ZIP, I believe.
It then threatens to delete the encryption key if an amount of $$$ is not sent by Bitcoin. In my case, they want ~$700.
No way.
I *think* I have my most recent profile purchases backed up on my Rig Manger laptop....I'll have to take inventory.
I know most of them (if not all) are on that laptop. Most of my important pictures were backed up, and surprisingly.....my iTunes
music folder was set to Read Only so none of them were affected, thank goodness.
This stuff is going around so beware. Always backup your important files and keep multiple copies of you profiles.
