Site taken down by ransomware

[chopper]

I'm going to call my insurance company and try and make a claim on the server. Any suggestions on how I phrase this? Basically this server is how I feed my family and now its been cyber vandalized.

Ransomware attacks fall under your cyber insurance policy's "cyber extortion" coverage and can generally be considered "first-party" or "third-party" coverage, according to Christine Marciano, president of Cyber Data Risk Managers. Third-party coverage would likely leave a company uninsured when they are the victims of a ransomware attack. - See more at: http://blogs.findlaw.com/in_house/2016/0...1zADR.dpuf

Sounds like you ought to make a claim against the SIS vendor. They need to be held responsible for mistakes like this.

Offer them $600, take it or leave it. =)

It's a shame it's such an important site. If it were me I'd love to be able to say "Enjoy your new site!".

Thank you for those links downlow!

Have this guy call 'em



they'll decrypt it AND pay you for any inconvenience.

Damn - sorry it is such a valuable hack. I'm like Wurm - if they stole my website, I'd offer them $5
