Hope you enjoy your time off! As for me, I'm putting in extra hours at my second job through the end of the year. I'm 'officially' off from my programming job at the end of business today...officially just means that the phones won't ring. (my clients are in education support and will be off also until next year)
The good thing is that my secondary job is unsupervised and not that demanding so that I can do work for the main job on my laptop! A bonus is that it gets me out of the house where the missus would certainly be putting me onto some unsavory task like cleaning the garage!

I just noticed a little green spot next to my FireFox search bar.
Opening my drop-down I was amazed to see it offered to add CodeProject to my search bar's list of parties. Wow-wee Zow-wee. Even my own website doesn't get that kind of prestige.
(Does this mean the cost of my annual CP subscription goes up?)

I tried it for a search 'hot bodypaint' - very disappointing results.

Didn't you get the email? The price went up this year: 17.3 times what it was this time last year!
Fortunately, members with over 100,000 rep points are excempt again this year, provided they are over that total by midnight on Dec 31st.
I get a rebate! 
Check your "Junk email" folder - it was sometime last week.

Someone stole the California voter database for bitcoin ransom...pretty stupid. Most of the names will be illegals and dead people.  [^]

I was under the impression that in California, the Democratic machine votes the illegals, and in Chicago, it votes the graveyard. Was I wrong?

I think they are both using the same playbook.

It boggles the mind that anyone would pay a ransom for an attack like this, especially a corporation.
I would assume that the machine is totally corrupted, format it back to the bare metal, and reload from a clean backup.

Yes! But that assumes the victim was diligent in keeping up-to-date backups.

I will try to stay calm, but not promises... My blood is right now boiling of anger.
A relative has just been victim of the indian call centers. When he contacted me was already way too late.
The problem is... he had the NAS where the redundant data were plugged and active, even the USB hard drive I use to do the backups was connected (I know, I know... I have warned him several times). So... he has lost everything.
I have read about the buggers and they usually delete the data. The amount of data with the internet connection to India would have taken days, so my last hope is, that they erased the data with the "Windows delete" and "empty bin" and that it might be (at least partially) restored.
Any advices / tips / recomendations of software or maybe a company?
Or is it hopeless and there is nothing to do?
Please... I just look for constructive comments. It is done and I can only try to repair something. If you are just going to come with "USB offline" and similars... save your time and mine. I am not in the mood right now, I hope you understand.
[EDIT]:
Just in case, this can help someone in the future...
I could recover the data using FileScavenger. Tiny, intuitive and effective.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I have a license for and have successfully used GetDataBack[^], I use NTFS and not Simple. If only delete has been used you should be good. Used it after a Windows Format and most data back. I think the RAID and NAS versions are only needed if the set has been damaged from dead or incorrectly removed HadD's.
