No more ransom! NEED HELP? Unlocking your digital life without paying your attackers?

What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that prevents the victims from accessing their documents, pictures, databases and other files by encrypting them and demanding a ransom to decrypt them back. A deadline is assigned for the ransom payment, and if the deadline passes, the ransom demand doubles or files are permanently locked. Ransomware is an ever-increasing threat worldwide, claiming a new victim every 10 seconds.

If you need help decrypting your files...fire up an email to me!

Consider it done! :-)

hyperthymesia

Definition of hyperthymesia

: the uncommon ability that allows a person to spontaneously recall with great accuracy and detail a vast number of personal events or experiences and their associated dates : HIGHLY SUPERIOR AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY

People with hyperthymesia can recall almost every day of their lives in near perfect detail, as well as public events that are personally significant. Those affected describe their memories as uncontrollable associations, so when they come across a date, they "see" a vivid depiction of that day in their heads.

— Miriam Stoppard

Those equipped with hyperthymesia file away in their brains by default a detailed report on each day and can remember them in flawless detail, from news events, conversations they had to what they ate for breakfast. No matter how far removed, if prompted with a date, these individuals are able to pull the appropriate folder out of their mental file cabinet without hesitation.

— William J. Dowd

tiger team

In the computer industry, a tiger team is a group of programmers or users who volunteer or are hired to expose errors or security holes in new software or to find out why a computer network's security is being broken. In the U.S. military, a tiger team is a group that is given the job of trying to break through security around a military base or special restricted area.

In hiring or recruiting volunteers for a tiger team, some software developers advise others to be sure that tiger team members don't include crackers, who might use their special knowledge of the software to disable or compromise it in the future.
