If you Google how most ransomware works, your question will mostly
answer itself.

I haven't experienced or heard about any BBSes falling victim to this. Sadly, nsomware is a business in 2o21 and I don't think - these actors go after huge ney. A recent ask was for 60M... another for 20M a week or two ago. I don't th
k these groups care about 100 people enjoying their old tech - but sure, it CO
D happen... if someone wanted to badly enough. I also agree with Digital Man t
t if it did, its more likely the actors would go after the entire system or ne
ork that was hosting the BBS server.
DuckDuckgo is much better!
The millionaire can't be bothered to google anything.
Lol - The Millionairre lives on Google. Thats the issue.

As much as I don't want to - I disagree. Theres several different ransomware scenerios. And one could certainly hem up a BBS server. I mean - easily. I don't think it would happen, but... I bet you could learn enough to hem 2o up.

You disagree that you could learn enough via Google to understand if or how ransomware might affect a BBS?
Just for fun, I can think of a couple of scenarios where ransomware
COULD be successful on a BBS.
* User uploads infected executable and sysop runs it.
* BBS or door has a backdoor that allows user to upload and run infected executable.
* BBS has a buffer overflow vulnerability in one of its services that allow upload and execution.

No, I thought you were telling TM it couldn't be an issue on BBSes. :P We're on the same line of thought... I misunderstood your first reply is all.

I don't see any specific applicability to BBSes or Synchronet, but I'm glad you read that article (?).

They talk about individuals. We are individual user as Sysops running a BBS. But if we tell them that we have triple protection ransomware features I think they will stay away for good.

jesus fucking christ you're still at it
LOL - I swear I've seen daily pokes at the dev's for YEARS, literally.
Millionaires are demanding customers...
I just create talking points and get hopefully a decent conversation going but it's "NUT" always the case it seems like here. :-(

No, you don't "create talking points".
You throw out ridiculous, inane questions that border on being
illiterate. Nobody replies to you because we can't even decipher what
the fuck you're trying to say or ask. Seriously. Just telling you the truth.
Try thinking a little more about what you write, BEFORE you post it.
You mean you want me trying to act more like you people do?

No, I'm pretty sure I never said that.
I'm pretty patient with you but "like" might be too strong a word. :-)

Yes. Yes, exactly that. Another way to say what Gamgee did is... write posts that are excellent to others.
I don't think asking Digital Man questions, so repeatedly that its... its insane that he hasn't twitted or banned you. The suggestions/questions are usually about the same thing - and often are so... amateur OR out there that they border on spam.
But.. I know - you'll keep posting multiple daily. Or you'll get butt-hurt and go away for a month... but I also know you'll be back. Posting daily rib-jabs to developers who are excellent to US.
And for some odd reason, are excellent to you, too. I'll continue going on passing over the posts. And you'll post them. Lol, Gamgee will yell - others will nicely prod you to be nice... and you'll keep pressing iPad buttons - I don't get it... but thats OK too.

Well as DM has said before, he can't twit or ban me for reasons unknown and I respect him for that.
I even got my name on the logonlist screenshot on wiki.synchro.net as well. I also got credit for some ideas and errors too. So DM must like me being here otherwise I would have disappeared by now.

It happends to corps with million dollar infosec bugets, it can
happen to a bbs ;)
Make encrypted backups (7zip + aes/256 perhaps?) and ship them to
the cloud. Onedrive is a good option as they have a personal vault
that keeps access closed until you MFA in. I'm sure *nix has even
better automated options.

...
Basically, the same issues that affect any software connected to the Internet.
They talk about individuals. We are individual user as Sysops running
a BBS. But if we tell them that we have triple protection ransomware features I think they will stay away for good.
thing were done, would most likely be to target a particular someone,
such as a self-proclaimed millionaire.

No protection is guaranteed. Do you think your security is better then the Whitehouse. They got hacked.
