    Petya/Goldeneye ransomware

    Running Windows 10 on an HP laptop. This is 6/30/17 and the big scare right now is the Petya/Goldeneye ransomware. I have two questions:

    • Will using a VPN decrease vulnerability to this threat? (I use ExpressVPN.)
    • The word is that one major avenue of attack for Petya is through the WMI service. There are various ways of increasing WMI security using the WMI Control. Will doing so decrease vulnerability to the Petya ransomware?
    Thank you.

    A sure way against ransomware is to keep regular backups.

    Petya Attack.

    But on an external disk, not one in the PC, or if you use one, your NAS, or actually any network drive, or cloud drive.
    Totally offline & disconnected from the PC.

    I totally agree with you Cliff. I am fortunate enough to own a NAS, but not everyone can either afford one or knows they even exist. At the very least people should back up to an external drive and then unplug it.

    I say backup to 2 externals, and keep one offsite. My sister's house burned to the ground. A buddy was robbed and they took all of his computer gear, including his backups.
