VMware runs in almost every data center, yet many out there don't even know ransomware can target #VMware specifically. Together, we're going to make sure you are ready to recover. This is a work in progress.

Read in a major news publication "VMware's "ESXi" is a kind of hypervisor - software which runs virtual computers. Those virtual systems are sold by some internet hosting companies as low-cost alternatives to running real, physical servers." Stop the planet I want to get off
