How much is the data worth to you? &nbsp;If you don't have a back up the only option at this point is to pay the ransom. &nbsp;I would do everything I could first but I understand they destroy the unencryption key within 72 hours. &nbsp;Maybe there will be a fix soon but at this time I'm not aware of one.

Are they going to track-'em-n-wack-'em the bad guys who are getting all these ransom money? It is ridiculous if Feds don't step in and try to find those behind the virus.
