[QUOTE="Stenographers, post: 1012109, member: 97396"] Lets be honest - this kind of thing happens to everyone. Even the most security conscious of us have fallen prey. I accidentally ransomware'd my home computer. I had a sample of the malware and was going to rename it from a .exe to something else so I couldn't accidentally double click it, well yeah I went and double clicked it when trying to do that and then had to do a wipe / restore. This was 2015 when I was still learning basic good habits when it comes to security research like "use a sandboxed system for handling samples" lol. [/QUOTE]
