We have valuable patient information lost due to some kind of unknown infection. All .doc files were changed from xy.doc to xy.doc.id-8173471466_decode@india.com. I tried removing only extension addon, but that isn't the problem solver. I tried to HEX compare files that were backed up and those encrypted and i see many repeatable patterns through encrypted file.
