More problems installing the Border Wall software.

Last edited Tue Jul 30, 2019, 02:33 AM - Edit history (1)

I posted a question here earlier about installing Border Wall software. I've heard some very bad things about the MS-13 update, and Windows 10 gets it fully automatic like a AR-16, right through your firewall. I want to keep my family safe. I don't like pictures of girls tied up in blue duct tape on my desktop.

Well, here's the problem. Despite all the bitcoin I've sent to Dubai, the installation isn't completed. It hasn't even started. When I reboot up the PC there's this message saying before we can install your new software, please contact Главное Разведывательное Управление (011-7-xxx-xxxx) . Your files have been encrypted for your protection . I called them - - had to speak to the phone company about billing first - but called I them up, and after a few missteps got onto someone who could speak American. We tried entering my social security number, but that didn't work, so he said call, 202-863-8500 - I done that too, but the call girl wanted $2800 for Red Hat linux.

Is it time to get a Mac? I know there's that Eye Cloud spyware and stuff but Microsoft supports gets on my last nerve. The last time I called I could hear people laughing.

I was very offended when Microsoft support said I was too dumb to own a computer.

You might want to keep a close eye on your credit report ... the FSB can't be counted upon to secure your information anymore.

News from the Ukrainian Independent Information Agency, July 21 2019 ...

Russian FSB hacked: "Largest data breach in its history"

... hackers under the name 0v1ru$ reportedly breached SyTech, a major FSB contractor. With the data stolen, 0v1ru$ left a smiling Yoba Face on SyTech's homepage alongside pictures purporting to showcase the breach. 0v1ru$ then passed the data itself to the larger hacking group Digital Revolution, which shared the files with various media outlets and the headlines with Twitter—taunting FSB that the agency should maybe rename one of its breached activities "Project Collander."

I believe they use that for ID verification. Since they already had all that info already from the Citi computers, they were just testing you to confirm your identity.

Не о чем беспокоиться!
