THE WORD FROM GOSTEV:
Do you have a plan what to do when your network gets hit by a CryptoLocker? Because it is a matter of “if” not “when”, best is to be prepared. Of course, most of you will have Veeam backups – however, before you restore those, you need to find and kill the source of malware, right? And not everyone know how to proceed here. Usually, it is dead simple: just open properties of the decryption instructions file that gets created by ransomware, and see who is the file owner – this will usually point to the infected user/machine. If that does not help because the owner is a group (or ransomware is super smart), go to Computer Management snap-in on the file server with files being encrypted, and open Shares > Open Files. One of the users will have hundreds of open files, this would be it. Now, just disable that user and their computer account until the issue is resolved, and perform the restore from the latest Veeam backup!
