What to do in an attack:
Tell someone! Report to IT. Report to SLT.
Unplug the computer from the internet by removing the ethernet cable or turning the Wi-Fi off.
If you are a victim of a ransomware attack we would recommend reporting this to Action Fraud: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ as well as your data protection officer so they can advise about the data loss. Most cyber crimes like these will also need to be reported to the ICO by your data protection officer.
Government Cyber Incident Reporting Service: https://signpost-cyber-incident.service.gov.uk/
Isolate the infected device and pass to IT
Always ensure there are backups you can restore from.
