[QUOTE="Fabian Wosar, post: 589201, member: 24327"] I just skipped over your video: In general, we don't care about certain file types, like .exe files or .lnk files and malware may be able to encrypt them without us intervening. This is mostly as a mitigation for false positives. The other two document files that were encrypted are encrypted copies. It's easiest to spot in the ".oops" case. You can clearly see both files coexisting there. The ransomware samples probably triggered the detection when they attempted to overwrite and get rid of the originals. Since we don't perform a rollback per se, encrypted copies will be left behind. Same with ransom notes really. The lock screens are annoying and we really should display the warning windows on top of them. Will see what we can do about that. [/QUOTE]
