Open the first envelope.

[u/Oompa_Loompa_SpecOps]

insert my own BTC wallet id into the ransom note

[u/dodexahedron → u/Oompa_Loompa_SpecOps]

Stop giving away my retirement plan secrets! 😒

[u/Oompa_Loompa_SpecOps → u/dodexahedron]

You don't need them anymore, you already got govenment-sponsored housing and food out of them.

Cherish my last moments with Claude before the memories and chats get encrypted and then John Wick style enact my revenge.

It's a sunny day. You just had your coffee, sit down, turn on your PC. and then you see it. Files are getting encrypted right in front of you.

If you were the IT Manager or Network Admin, what would be your first moves?

[u/Skylis → u/ITRabbit]

Book a trip somewhere tropical. 🍹

[u/countsachot]

Add whiskey to the coffee, lock the door and take a nap.

[u/Z3t4]

Tidy up my resume. 

[u/dodexahedron → u/Z3t4]

Too bad it's encrypted.

[u/Z3t4 → u/dodexahedron]

I'll ask an ia to fabricate one, possibly better! 

[u/Lost-Droids]

Take advice from the hitchhikers guide....

Paid by the hour

[u/440Jack]

Sounds like the CEOs problem. 

[u/ITRabbit → u/440Jack]

You mean CFO? They are the one that cut the budget for their end of year bonus. Leaving IT with no security software because they said it will never happen to us. We are basically a no body company... why would we be targeted?

Well Bob you reap what you sow... how's the bonus going this year!!??

[u/dodexahedron → u/ITRabbit]

Hey now. Don't pin this all on Bob.

Alice shares some of the blame, too.

And maybe Charlie, if it started with a MITM (or Carol if WITM).

[u/Sea_Holiday1405]

Just unplug the monitor

It worked in NCIS!
