Crypto ware is like a virus that infects files and encrypts them the forces you to pay a ransom to unencrypted them.

Go back to your IT service providers and find out if any files have been encrypted and how much you have had to pay to unencrypt them.

Dear Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service's handling of my FOI request 'Number of cryptoware attacks'.

The answer provided does not make any sense. They stated they do not use crypto ware which is good because if they did it would make them a criminal organisation.

Please review the request and ensure that someone in the IT services department who understands the terms in it answers it.

Thank you.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/n...

Yours faithfully,
