Hi,
I'm sure you have read about the latest vulnerability in (Adobe) Flash player allowing the installation of so called ransomware in computers without adequate protection. Once infected all data on the computer is encrypted and attackers will contact you and ask for payment (in almost impossible to trace bitcoins). Of course paying is no guarantee for the end of the problem. Keeping backups offsite or at least on non-steady-connected media is - next to adequate protection a necessity, especially for business users.
Although the machines here have not been at risk (this time) because of the excellent protection by Malwarebytes Premium I decided that enough is enough and deleted the flash player from all 'puters and disabled the built-in flash player plugin of Chrome on all machines.
Thanks!
