I have always wondered if there is honour amongst thieves here... I.e. If you pay the money do they actually decrypt your shit?

 

After I got attacked I read up about this. Some honour it. Others don't bother (effort for zero gain? not a criminal mindset; plus you could assist others in decrypting their attacks). Others give you the key, but the ransomware attacks you again in future, so you pay twice.

Still not as painful as trying to get out of a direct debit gym membership.

You have to open an attachment/link or give it permission to run, but it can disguise itself as a windows or java update that you click yes to, which is what I did

Paid about $1k for my bike trailer custom made from scratch using Australian steel etc Leigh. The guy is pretty passionate about his trailers too, kept calling me to confirm little details before going ahead so wasn't just a slap together for a quick $1k job... I should probably give him a referral considering I pocket dialled him like a year later at 3am...

lucky most of the tools do follow though with the key...and use bad crypto so reverse engineering can sort it and Leigh can fix it.

 

this is the bit where I should say if you have a certain endpoint protection on your PC it would not happen.

 

but hey  you click stupid shit    pay for Leigh...

They do, but often their contact details (email address) would get shut down so you cant even get in touch with them, had a customer try emailing them and got bounce backs.

Was it the fake AGL bill one?

Similar kind of shit, the user we know who did it is playing dumb.

As above, some do honor it usually costs around $1-2k and the GOOD ones have unique keys so cant just upload it on the web and fix it for everyone, although it does help with reverse engineering it for people trying to make tools.

Yeah basically, need to actually open / download the attached 'bill or invoice' then run it on your computer, then basically all your photos, videos, PDFs, docs gone in minutes

Haha, well as much as we warn our customers that they NEED this anti-ransomware software they tend not want it, don't see the threat & waste of money etc. It's not until they get hit they actually buy it. Small business logic I guess, that's after they get billed the whole day of me being out there trying to restore shit from backups.

Backup is the most important protection IMO - tangible offsite can't be electronically hacked

It's a pain to wipe and restore, but DBAN feels so fresh so clean...

Yep, most good backup solutions these days do local AND offsite (cloud data center) backups this way you can still restore files quicker locally if you need to restore a heap and you're still protected if you get a fire, flood, theft etc. 

At home I have a little 2 bay NAS with a 'Important' folder basically, and that gets replicated to my 'One Drive' storage so at least if all my shit at home gets hacked or burned down still got all the old photos, another good thing you can do is when you take photos on your phone, automatically sync to your cloud storage.  

Just realized I'm a user of the word 'cloud'

88E then proceed to release a nothing news update, which will put our high expectations holders on sell...I might just buy in again if I can get a 3.7 order through today.

By meeting LSX you mean coming back down to match their lack of overreaction...

I find London responds more realistically to news events than we do. They are the ones who move up when announcements are positive and technical, unless held down by significant drops on the ASX. Often the two markets bounce off each other when the news is important, good or bad, but the ASX is full of casino gamblers all betting on each other rather than the company; myself included.

It's also not healthy that only 20 odd million shares are out in the market deciding daily the value of over 3 billion shares. Makes a long term hold quite painful to watch and the share very open to manipulation.

Drop happened before the release; they were lining up 3.8 pre-open. The nothing news will help push it down - as predicted. The 3.7 buy queue is about to run out of demand too.

At least you were right about us not seeing 4 cents today ;)

Its as i say, there is good money to be made betting on the opposite of what i say: dont buy a house, dont buy a gtr, the vikings will beat the cowboys, hillary will win, camozzi will beat dan kelly, kosalov will beat ward etc.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
