Humans of the internet.... let this info be known and spread... There is a nasty virus on the net that is nearly impossible to remove without having to wipe your machine. It shows up as a FORM_12345.pdf or FORM_12345.pdf.exe. Link below will provide more detail. My boss and I have tried to remove this from a server for 2 days and it is impossible to recover data without the encryption key. You can prevent it by following the steps via link. bleepingcomputer/virus-removal/cryptolocker-ransomware-information This shit sucks....a company just lost years of data. Crypto Locker virus is an important reminder to follow three major rules: Always back up any information from your computer that you do not want to lose (files, documents, pictures). Opening any files or links in your e-mail could be a virus, no matter how trustworthy the sender might sound. (A most recent method of spreading a virus is sending it under a friend’s name.) Computer problems are going to happen; it is just a matter of time. Whether it is through a Crypto Locker virus, technical failure, or other incident, nothing on a computer is forever.
