How did I engage? I tried to help a friend, inserted my usb stick, turned on the internet as it was needed for my action and Gradcrab 5.1 activated.
I didn't realize it until I noticed that some files from my usb stick changed names.
I was also amazed by the led of usb stick running wild after turning internet on. I knew something was wrong. That was the crypting doing its job.
In 3 minutes the entire folders with txt, docs and zip files were damaged / encrypted.
Luckly I had backups and so my friend, but one thing is obvious: Windows Defender defended NOTHING.
Other systems from same place with Bitdefender installed with Antiransomware and preboot options active were protected.
This is not advertising to this AV provider, it's just a happy case with one damaged computer from 7.
We saved some encrypted files for future use and see if any decryptor will help, but it will be at least 6 months until one will be public.
Thank you
