Not only system BIOS is not accessible, but it cannot be booted up from CD or USB either. What’s more frustrating, this unwanted message can also display without the system drive plugging in. That’s because this ransomware is not loaded directly from system drive. Even though there isn’t any fine requested by this virus so far, cyber criminals may find a way to connect and do so.
