     @sun Ah yes, the typical medical handling of sensitive information - the files don't even get removed once unneeded.

     @stallmafia @sun Let me guess, they downgraded to Vista?
     
     Imagine merely changing the version of windows instead of upgrading to GNU/Linux, which doesn't get ransomware provided you don't run proprietary malware.
