I have mentioned the SamSam ransomware strain in past presentations and blog posts. Recently the Department of Homeland Security has issued several bulletins warning of a rapid rise in infections from this ransomware strain. The delivery methods vary, but the effectiveness has caused the DHS bulletins. Companies and individuals infected usually get their files back after paying the ransom and applying the decryption key(s).
Consider taking the time now to create a backup on an external disk or device that is NOT left plugged in and available to your computer(s).
