The definition of insanity has been updated to include:

1. Participation in cryptocurrency schemes and expecting to accumulate wealth.

2. Believing that money grows on trees or can be mined in cyberspace.

3. Thinking you can outsmart cryptocurrency founders at their own game.

4. Thinking that cryptocurrency schemes are never too late to get in.

5. Investing in anything that exists only in cyberspace.

6. Failure to understand the word fraud.

7. Letting a stranger hold your wallet, credit cards, and checkbook.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

I have updated group policies on my 5 PCs.

This menace can encrypt backups (on network drives) and delete shadow copies.

It also runs in safe mode and disables task manager.

yep...it's cold here too (22 F this morning).
But at least we have power and heat.
Thinking about the folks further north having to deal with so much worse.

The forecast low has been adjusted down to single digit.
Depending on the source it ranges from 4 F to 7 F without wind chill.
Quite cold by NE Georgia standards.

Okay, so its colder where you are but consider this:
It is so snug in my home office with 3 PCs to keep me warm.
The temperature on the exhaust fan side of the i7 is 85 F.
Can't get to the others to measure but it has to be above ambient so they are virtual heat pumps.

The only thing that can screw up my happy little arrangement is an ice storm and power outage.
Think positive!

It was a pleasant 9 F (actual, not that wind chill crap) this morning.
The dog decided not to wander all over the place today, for some reason.
Out. In. Snack. Cozy up to the fire.
