If just one line of your code is included into their code they can then claim (technically and legally) that you are part of the ransomware software and it adds value to the ‘Fabiansomware’ claim.

Remember they are slick people. This can be a ruse to get you to contribute to the code.

Help the victims? Yes.

Making a system restore point is also good, but a complete system backup saved on an external drive is the best. Or otherwise utilizing the Refresh option. Although for that you have to have an OS disk and re-install a lot of stuff and do the settings again. But it’s still less work then reformatting.

Save your System Backup on an external drive you only use for that and never have plugged into your computer except when making the backup or when using the backup to restore your system with. Otherwise that drive can also be infected.
