The computer of Stanley Bolten was hacked to where the computer cannot load the Windows 10 Operating System (OS). The computer was protected by third party secure encryption. However, somebody started injecting python script codes into the computer. PayLock encryption ransom-ware started showing up after usage of CHKDSK. CHKDSK logs were not retained due to quick action to save DATA, however CHKDSK confirmed hard disk had error after error. It found errors in the NTFS, the file-system, and stored the files in the chkdsk orphan file folders. Upon checking them out, weird python script files were discovered, along with images with the names PayLock and PaySplashScreen. This is similar to names used by ransom-ware hacker groups to lock computers demanding money or not longer be allowed access to personal DATA. Usually using encryption. Somebody is trying to hack the computer to be locked out. That attempt had failed. This was attempted 2 days ago, around November 19, 2022. Computer started reporting that it had to restart the computer to repair hard drive errors. SMART tool was used to check and it shown no issues and at approximately 80% health. It did not warn that the drive was failing, but now the hard drive corruption comes in, weird script tools showing up, and paylock. So somebody is trying to encrypt the files and lock the computer. Possibly demanding money or may be an attempt to do some other form of attack or set up or whatever. This is being reported on here for my safety.
