Guess it's ok to say public now...Not to long ago I got a ransomware attack from here. After 3 reformat's (I kept getting it when I returned) and a cpl of chats with kasperski labs.....I tracked it down to be in the Adobe Flash Player software they run the banner adds and such. I found that Flash Player is the easiest way to deliver or open doors for attacks.......I tried to tell the Admin's about the problem.....Got answers back that my profile was not hacked and they couldn't find any problems.....I told them they had a server issue........adblocker plus, I haven't seen an advert for years.
BTW it was a Russian ransom ware!
I wouldn't doubt that it got opened in the server. They are DDos attacks.......You can find the pathways it took to get into the Dos through windows.....The only way I could clear it was a reformat. Kasperski has a copy of it and is working on a repair file for the particular one. Ransomware's are the biggest pain,,,very hard to remove, if it can at all.
I now run my browser with all video player (Flash Player) turned off. I also turned off banner adds, and disallowed "return" cookies. That's how I could keep post here for the last month or so.
