We are on day 3 of no network, no internet, no computer usage at work. Supposedly corporate got hit with ransomware.

sounds like my kind of week :bowrofl:

ugh. That sucks, good thing for backups...

Doesn't sound like they had backups in mind....

We have no idea what's going on honestly. IT has been in meetings since Tuesday morning but no one has even started trying to bring the network back up.

Man that sounds like my old company. Owner was actually the one who downloaded the ransomware; his son was responsible for performing backups; his son had not performed backups. We lost months of data. Not QC though - fortunately, I had been making backups of our stuff :)

Just wondering if you're ever going to install anything or keep collecting indefinitely :stirthepot:

How would any work get done?

That’s going to be expensive. Surprised they didn’t send everyone home. That’s how it would be handle in an engineering office.

Management - ‘Y’all can’t work, so we ain’t payin’ you. We’ll let you know when you can come back to work.’

Shut it, you!! :mad:


Definitely going in the collection :rofl2:

speakin of engineering offices.......love that my director makes a safety stand down meeting from 1230-1 today.

like wtf thats when i eat. :mad:

:icon14:

I'm literally being paid to sit and be on my phone. They need to send us home, it's ridiculous. I called out yesterday to visit the doctor.
The problem too is that our network and internet is routed through our sister company in Fargo so no telling if it originated from there or Miami corporate.

Thats where I was leading that convo lol. We dont get to leave work until the problem is fixed. Every single person from the IT dept gets called in, no excuses. We stay until a solution is working and all systems tested and verified up. Longest Ive been there is 21 hours straight. They will provide sleeping accommodations and food but your azz aint going nowhere.
