Such attacks could be countered if you could make sure that your backups aren't hacked versions of your system. A construction company owner I know got hit with a ransomware attack but they wanted until after he'd gone through several backups before they triggered it. All his backups were also locked up. All his accounts payable and receivable where lost and he had to rely on the honesty of others to reconstruct his ledgers.

Could such attacks be countered by simply having a bunch of off-line, off the internet, pre-programmed computers to manually replace the hacked ones?

I agree as long as it does not become a regular thing.

I wish I had the aptitude of P.T. Barnum to take advantage of the rising tide of truly stupid people in our society.

I spoke to both of them several weeks ago. They said they might drive up in the car.

It would be great to see Woody and Gloria again.

I recognize that GSA, she is called U-Turn GSHey. Haven`t seen Woody and his lovely wife in a long time.
