That’s helpful. So this is much ado about nothing? I note in the comments section of the article that people have paid the ransom in order to get their data back, but no word yet if they were successful.
There are a couple of different versions of it out there. Not all are this easy to work around. Its a serious issue though.
Generally those who pay get their data back. Its one reason I make backups and don’t have them attached via a mapped drive.
