Hi M8's
Earlier in the year, I had a ransom attack on my network. I did not pay up so have had quite a bit of work cleaning my network and getting things back the way they should be. I had the local police and the National Cyber Scam Centre involved as a result I get regular updates from the Northumbria Police regarding Scams that the National Cyber Security Centre advise them of. Don't know if it is of interest, but, thought I would post one of these reports to see if it is.
cheers
