Updates (“We got hit by a ransomware attack.”)

Schedulefly is a popular web app used by restaurants to schedule their employees for work. Right now it’s down with the message:

> We got hit by a ransomware attack. We are working with a firm that specializes in resolving these attacks. We are doing everything we can to get you back online quickly. Once we know more we’ll update this message. We don’t have access to crib sheets or backups, it’s all been encrypted and is currently unreadable on our end. We’re really sorry you’re having to deal with this.

Schedulefly gang: hope your day gets better.

Everyone else: remember to test that your backups are 1) restorable, 2) current, and 3) truly separate from the production environment.
