We have brought in extra people today (Friday) to work on this problem.
Yea, we can protect ourselves now, but what about the 500 workstations and
100 servers that are infected now, it takes a LONG time to clean that
number. Out IT department, like yours, have 2 men. I'm at Instructional
Tech Coordinator, 1 of me, and then there is the director. So we had to
bring in extra folks. I've never seen anything like it.
