I think it is time to migrate away from the cloud, disconnect the PC's that have no business on the Internet and have a paper trail.

World-leading heart hospital 'very, very lucky' to dodge ransomware hit • The Register

'World-leading Papworth Hospital has escaped a full-on zero-day crypto ransomware attack thanks to the "very, very lucky" timing of its daily backup. '

'The NHS foundation trust had made recovery plans and recruited experienced staff following earlier attacks, but Berezynskyj said: "We were also very, very lucky. '

'"We're pretty certain that when we suffered our ransomware attack, the user concerned navigated away from that screen that said: 'This is a ransomware attack, please pay X amount in bitcoins'," Berezynskyj said, but the person never reported what happened. '

'Papworth had not budgeted for such an attack, although Berezynskyj said she had been able to absorb its cost within existing budgets. '

'"We've got some fairly ancient application architecture so we've got some file-shares, and actually that's what happened to us – a crypto attack went through our file-shares and encrypted the data."'
