25.01.2022 Just following up on my artical the other week on "Ransomware" well another weekend spent fixing computers but for this lucky person its a good weekend they installed an anti-virus/anti-malware application on their computer and survived, admittedly not one of the best ones as it only quarantined the ransomware but at least it stopped it from executing and destroying their files Just remeber prevention is better than cure invest in a good quility security system and stay safe

06.01.2022 Hello All, I am seeing more and more computers encrypted/infected with ransomware, what is ransomware? some of you may have heard of it but for those that haven’t here is a very brief explanation, Ransomware encrypts all of your files using RSA-2048 so they become unusable including and not limited to photos, videos, document all those baby photos/videos you have become useless and getting them back..well this is where it becomes interesting, why? Because how it works you do...wnload a file or open up that unsuspecting email and no time flat all your files are encrypted, what you have left is a ransom note either on your desktop with instructions on what to do or every file you try to open redirects you to a website asking you to pay a ransom, it changes on what version of ransomware you have been infect with but the end result is exactly the same they want your money and for the privilege of getting your files back can cost you anything from $200 - $17000 A little more on how it works, once the root kit has been executed, it encrypts your files deleting the original files (the ones that worked) turns off system restore and does a system clean empties the bin among other things, so no chance of turning your system back to the last good restore point, while its doing all of this its talking to a rouge computer on the net generating 2 security keys one is called a public key which will be in the ransom letter on your computer , the second is called the private key this key is what unblocks and makes your files usable once again. If you are unlucky enough to have this happen, you have a few options, the first one is to decide what have you lost and do I really care if it’s gone (this is the best outcome) great I just reformat the hard drive, reinstall windows and various other things and move on so, you have decided you require the files that were on your computer, first I or any other tech worth their salt can analyse the computer and see if they can recover the files without paying the ransom OK, your tech can’t help you and your going to pay the ransom, I’m not saying don’t do it, just remember you are dealing with criminals and it’s up to them if they want to send you the private keys, they might wouldn’t hold my breath they may try and extort more money from you, if this happens and I know it has, you’re never going to get the keys to unlock your files If your taken the time to read this I thank, you so here’s a warning external USB devices that you may use to back-up your files or NAS devices are not safe if they are plugged into your computer or network and are turned on depending on the variant of ransomware you get these will be encrypted as well at the same time as your computer Buy a good anti-virus, free doesn’t mean good, even think about a wingman for your anti-virus application, there are lots of things we can do to protect ourselves from such threats, if you need advice please give me a call

05.01.2022 Hi all, sorry haven't updated this for awhile between uni and being involved in an extremely large I.T project for one of Colac's largest employer I have been very busy, would love to tell you more about the project i have been heavily involved in but due to privacy and security reasons i am unable But i can tell you that working within Industrial I.T is very rewarding and everyday is very different but it's bloody hard work mentally, ontop of this im gaining my adv. Diploma ...in I.T and yes it keeps me up at night trying to work out better ways to achieve the best outcome or worrying about the next exam but the pressure becomes an addiction and in the end it doesn't matter what stands in front of you, you deal with it the best you can, give 100% and move to the next challenge Talking of challenges its only a few weeks until Christmas so if you would like your PC fixed for the holidays or its time for that upgrade you have been putting off or a new computer for the family, if you just want honest advice with no sales pitch, no bullshit give me a call or shot me a message even if you have no computer skills or just need some information im here to help Regards
