Ransomware?
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2018 9:41 pm
Hello,
I have a Windows 7 machine that is connected to a server that gets used for one task (shipping products). Yesterday, I installed OpenOffice on it and carried on my way.
2-3 hours later, our server gets attacked by ransomware and we had to recover the data. My IT team tells me that the origin started from this computer and the only changes made on that computer that day was installing OpenOffice. I know because I'm the only one that used the computer all day, no one else is here.
I downloaded directly from the website. This is the download link from my download logs:
https://versaweb.dl.sourceforge.net/pro ... _en-US.exe
I'm not saying OpenOffice is responsible but I just wanted to open a dialogue about it. Have you guys heard of anything like this?
