Trojan Virus Encrypts your files, holds password ransom for $300
Published : Tuesday, March 14th, 2006
A new Trojan identified as CryZip infects files on a computer by encrypting them, then demands a $300 ransom for the password to unlock the files.
More and more reasons to have redundant back-ups of all important data. I currently have my data on two different computers and a seperate server. But what I'd like to do is get a good external storage device or (even better IMO) a DVD burner. NO I don't have one yet.
Even though it seems like it would be more time consumning to use DVDs to burn all my important files every month or so, it would be better than the alternative (external storage) since I keep hearing horror stories about them breaking down.
