Unfortunately 2 COSTAR Customers fell victim this week to Ransomeware. If you are not familiar with Ransomeware… it is basically a virus that infects your computers files rendering it totally useless. The only way to recover the files is to pay the Ransom and pray that you will get your files back operational. All COSTAR Customers are strongly advised to make sure you have an off site backup of your COSTAR database. Don’t assume you are getting a backup – make the effort today to check and be sure you are getting good backups! Here is some additional information from Microsoft about Ransomeware. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/…/the-5ws-and-1h-of-ra…/
