Waiting.
We've been dealing with a Mytob.cu attack at work that crippled half the company. Why? Because 2 people were fucking morons and opened something that was obviously NOT from the security team or the helpdesk, and infected their machines.
A nice geometric figure later, we have about 100 machines infected and quarantined. I've taken over 140 phone calls today, out of 326. We've sent 3 possible fixes we could impliment + a company wide protection/fix to the two security and IT manager teams that have to approve them, and we've yet to hear back on them. I don't want to think about how much productivity the company lost today, or how much money.
I honestly don't know if I'll leave work on time tonight. I'm expecting it will be late.
