One would think that the crucial part of diagnosis would be seeing a ransom note/monit/whatever. Oh, there it is, after everything else. Not wrong, but it's a bit like writing an article about diagnosing strep, and putting "sore throat that hurts real bad" after listing anomalous white cell count, swollen lymph nodes, fever, chills, cough, and discomfort pendiculating. That link doesn't work and makes your website look somewhere between unprofessional and shady.The biggest clue that you’ve been infected specifically with ransomware is that you will see a pop up on your screen which demands you pay a fee to regain the use of your device.
