A very bad day at work . . .
“Boss, all the data on The Board’s network is scrambled !! ??”
IT Manager: We’ve been infected with “ransomware”, all our data is locked with encryption, and the crooks want $400,000 in Bitcoin to give it back.
Superintendent: What about the backups?
IT Manager: Those are scrambled also. Do you remember that you didn’t approve my budget request for that off-site, cloud backup?
