>>>everything's been encrypted through the network
Literally how do hoarders not lose everything that way? Do the just use Linux?
>>62035893
Yes.
Either that or people are smart/stupid enough to update Wangblows
>>62035893
Should've listened to us and installed Gentoo, anon.
Maybe - just maybe - my mom is not fucking stupid.
>>62035893
Hoarders are not dumb asses that don't update windows/download shady shit
>>62035893
why the fuck would you stay connected to the same network as a computer infected with ransomware
Keep hard copy back ups of anything important. A ransomware can't lock the important files if they aren't even connected to the computer or network in the first place.
>>62035893
It's called having offsite backups you spitshined shitbird
setup proper read/write permissions/account access or don't have dumbass relatives on your network. Setup a VLAN or DMZ or something can work as well.

>restore all files in 2 minutes to filesystem snapshot from 1 hour ago
But all jokes aside, just don't click on that "Russian_Babe_Screensaver.zip.exe" attachment and surf with noscript enabled. 0days aside, you won't get ransomware.

how large is your ZFS system? 2 minutes seems pretty quick.

Nigger you kinda deserve it lol everyone here says UPDATE YOUR SHIT OR USE LINUX/INSTALL GENTOO. Go take this as a lesson. Also why the fuck did you have everyting networked? Lol isolate everything. Computers should only be able to see the internet that's it.
