Hubs logged onto his work server tonight and all his files have been encrypted and needs a ransom paid to unlock the files. We don't know if it was him that spread the virus or if it's on the work server. Guess they'll know tomorrow when the IT guy comes in. I doubt they'll pay the ransom as I think they back up the servers everyday. But...this gets me to thinking...what's the safest way to back up our personal files? Is it a cloud service or an external drive? Do people do both? Is one more cost effective? I'm thinking a cloud would be better so it's auto backed up and you don't have to think about it every so often.
