Sorry I ran out of free topic areas to post this stuff. I didn't want to post over unread material.......... I could rant on this topic (space) but another time.
More proof one needs to backup and keep it updated.
Computer files being held hostage
As if the usual hack attacks weren't bad enough, now the bad guys are getting into the extortion business. The latest threat encrypts your documents, photos and other files and leaves behind a ransom note, demanding money in exchange for the encryption keys to unlock the files. How the money is supposed to be exchanged without the "kidnapper's" identity being compromised isn't clear. Maybe they didn't think this one through completely? In any event, it proves the need to make backups of your important files and store them off-site.
