The real damage is often done when the attack exfiltrates files while leaving backdoors in the network for future malicious activity-and these risks persist whether or not the ransom is paid. Once all of your data is encrypted and recent backups are also of encrypted data, your key is removed so you can no longer read your data. Your backups, though, are of the encrypted data. With your key still available, your data is usable to you and the ransomware goes unnoticed. Ransomware can also slowly encrypt your data while keeping your key on the system. Ransomware can be staged to exfiltrate your data first, over several weeks or months, before the ransomware actually executes on a specific date. The ransomware leverages the attackers’ knowledge of common system and security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to infiltrate the organization, navigate the enterprise network, and adapt to the environment and its weaknesses as they go. While early ransomware mostly used malware that spread with phishing or between devices, human-operated ransomware has emerged where a gang of active attackers, driven by human attack operators, target all systems in an organization (rather than a single device or set of devices).
Attackers use ransomware to extort money from victims by demanding money, usually in the form of cryptocurrencies, in exchange for a decryption key or in exchange for not releasing sensitive data to the dark web or the public internet. Ransomware is a type of extortion attack that encrypts files and folders, preventing access to important data and systems. This has worked for me after many hours of trying different things and searching endlessly on the Internet.Preparing for ransomware also improves resilience to natural disasters and rapid attacks like WannaCry & (Not)Petya. Try using this path when defining the backup destination: The default path for me was in the form “Wireless IP address” (e.g ) - This DID NOT work if the connection was temporarily lost For example, if you use wireless and lose your connection briefly, the path is broken and won’t reset itself.

When the WD software starts up and asks you to select the backup device DO NOT use the default settings as this path keeps “breaking” and won’t automatically reconnect. It seems that the problem may arise depending on how you are configuring the WD software - it seems to be a problem with XP in general and not the WD software. It may only help those people connecting via wi-fi, but it may help others too.

I have found a solution to this problem for people using windows XP sp3. Why don’t I just buy an entirely new product instead of using yours, then?
WD, you guys need to start taking these issues seriously and do some REAL troubleshooting instead of just telling us to create a new backup. It’s time consuming and unnerving and it begs the question of “why am I using this crappy backup software if all it’s gonna do is lose my backup plan again and cause me to start from scratch?!” When you have almost a whole terabyte of data to backup and you have to do your backup all over again, it’s a huge pain in the **bleep**. The “Advisor’s” suggestion of “if nothing else works, you’ll just have to create a new backup” is NOT a solution, especially since the WD Anywhere software has lost my backup path at least 2x now. I point the software directly to the backup folder on the backup drive where the software once was backing up, and WD Anywhere claims that there is no backup plan there, despite the fact that nothing has been moved or deleted from my computer/drive. I too have the same problem as the original poster with the WD Anywhere software losing the path for the backup plan.
