Hi Darragh, What did you do to clean it? Did you use GRML? Did you pop the disc into an enclosure and clean it on a Windows Box? Cheers, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Darragh OHeiligh Sent: 09 November 2012 13:00 To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Blind-sysadmins Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] FBI ransomware? these infections seem to be specific to the region. In the US, their FBI, in England, their the police, over here in Ireland their the gards. I saw a computer infected with this varient on Monday. It kept getting to the BSOD and crapping out. This happened in Safe mode as well. Took me ages to clean it up. Even then, it's only working for a while until the person decides if it's worth paying me to rebuild it. Seems like it's nasty enough.

Sent by: "Blind-sysadmins" <blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Hello, Has anyone had unfortunate cause to deal with a system infected by the FBI ransomware? If so, how did you eraticate that outbreak? I've just started preliminary reading on this and I've not seen the machine so I don't know how this infection hit it. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins Oireachtas email policy and disclaimer. http://www.oireachtas.ie/parliament/about/oireachtasemailpolicyanddisclaimer...
