Consumer Reports Original Ransomware Interview With Short Circuited Consumer Services Owner Raul Glasgow Circa 2016
>
Ransomware is a form of malware, or malicious software that is a lot more complicated that typical malware. Ransomware can present itself in a few ways, two forms described below:
- Locker ransomware encrypts the whole hard drive of the computer, essentially locking the user out of the entire system.
- Crypto ransomware will only encrypt specific, seemingly important files on the computer, such as word documents, PDFs and image files.
Ransomware does exactly what it sounds like – it presents users with an ultimatum: pay a fee to unlock and reclaim personal data, or don’t pay the fee and lose the data indefinitely.

Consumer Reports Article Raul Glasgow and Short Circuited Computer Services Referenced
By Raul Glasgow, Owner, Shortcircuited Computer Repair Services, Brooklyn, New York
I do info-tech consulting and computer repair. I’m basically the computer guy for a number of dental and medical offices. One day last summer I got up and checked on the server where I keep my website—and the site was just gone. The files were encrypted, and I saw a message appearing in a pop-up window.
This wasn’t the first time I’d encountered ransomware, so I knew what the message was going to say: To get the files back I’d have to pay the hackers in bitcoin, a digital currency.
I started seeing ransomware attacks targeting some of my clients two or three years ago, and since then it’s become more common.
The first time it was a dental office, and they were being told to pay about $2,000 in bitcoin to get their files back. But we were worried they could lose the money if the hackers didn’t actually restore the files—after all, we didn’t know who these guys were. We ended up wiping everything and starting fresh with a new computer. We could do that because everything was backed up.

Specializing in Helping Businesses Remove Ransomware & Restore Encrypted Files.
We at Shortcircuited Computer Services saw our first ransomware attack 6.5 years ago.
In 2013 ransomware attacks were new and not prevalent and most companies had no clue on how to deal with infections.
Once attacked there are basically two options. Restore from a backup or pay the ransom.
That's it. Sometimes you may get lucky and find decryptors online
Because of these limited options we at Shortcircuited are more focused on hack prevention as opposed to the data recovery aspect. Protect your valuable data against the recent worms.
Call us at 347-791-3311 if your office machines are infected with ransomware.
A technician will respond to your inquiries as soon as possible.
Ransomware mediation services in events that there is no decryptor.
