The company I work for got hit by a ransomware attack. They're holding one of our servers hostage and asking for $5k in BTC. Our IT guy doesn't know what to do, he cant simply erase the server since all of our records and data since 2015 are on that drive

What do /biz/? Do we pay these chink hackers the ransom? Is there a way to decrypt the ransomware?

come to think of it this is a great opportunity op
tell the company they have to pay
send btc to your own wallet
tell them the chinks demand more btc
send the btc to your own wallet
keep doing this until the company decides to fuck it and formats the hdd.

also what you can do to make this legit is either edit a screenshot that shows your wallet address, or hit the ransomware with a debugger and find the string in memory and replace with your own that way the live malware will demand btc sent to your wallet.
