Hey everyone,

as said in the title i recently had the laptop i host a paper 1.21.11 server on hacked and all my files encrypted by something called want_to_cry, i had factory wiped all the data on it just to run the server and was running fine for nearly 2 years until just last week where this incident took place. No other programs downloaded or files transferred.

Will admit was running the server without an antivirus (windows defender was active and detected the virus but was absolutely useless against it).

Completely wiped the drive again and soon hosting the server from a backup (nearly a month of progress gone) again with kaspersky antivirus this time and wanted to know of any tips on how to prevent this in the future?

Only had ports 25565 for java and 24454 for vc open with dmz enabled.

Any help appreciated.
