Hackers managed to infect the systems of a Canadian university with ransomware and are now demanding 39 Bitcoin (approximately $28,500) to unlock the files.
不明黑客袭击了一个加拿大的大学计算机系统,并索要39比特币解密被加密的文件,这些勒索金当前相当于28500美元。

At this point, no other details are known about the ransomware infection or the hacker or hackers who managed to break into the university’s systems.
By the looks of things, the university has no intention to pay the attackers to remove the infection, but restoring the backups could take a little longer. Students are strongly recommended to ignore messages from attackers, as the IT department warns that popups could show up on more computers connected to the local Wi-Fi network.
目前,关于勒索软件的细节还未披露,以及这些坏蛋是通过何种方式入侵该校的系统的。从目前的种种迹象表明,涉事的大学目前并未打算给勒索者支付赎金,而是正在通过备份系统对感染的计算机系统进行恢复。但是这个恢复系统可能需要较长时间,在还未完全恢复前,校方建议学生目前暂时不要打开其计算机进行任何操作,同时建议不要连接到该校的无线网络,以免再次感染。但是校方保证不管是学生还是教职员工的个人信息没有被泄露和破坏,这些关键的数据还是非常安全的。但是邮件系统已经恢复,以后的进展将通过邮件系统发送。
点评:即使中招,也不向勒索低头:关键是事先的预防措施做得到位:备份备份再备份。
