The Case Of The Cyber-Voodoo Extortionist Hacker!<\/h3>\n

Tuesday morning started off with a bang when we were unable to access any of our computer files! \u00a0Then we got an ominous email from a horrifying hacker holding our digital documents for ransom. We were a victim of the infamous Ransomware<\/a>! A complex computer virus that locks files via an encryption code. This gives a hacker leverage to extort money from individuals, and businesses. If we didn’t pay $2.2 million dollars the heinous hacker said our files would be deep-sixed into oblivion, and beyond! This includes our precious paranormal database of sensitive supernatural secrets amassed over the last 10 years. On top of that, we have our resident vampire Executive VP Drake Alexander’s<\/a> 700 years of personal journals painstakingly scanned into digital form. Of course, he at least still has the original texts at his stately forest manor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conventional hacking is impossible in our paranormal crime fighting facility since our resident witch Rebecca Abernathy has incorporated multi-layered magical encryption with the aid of our computer whiz kid, and Cyborg Zack Powers. Unfortunately, it seems we were compromised by a Voodoo<\/a> Master who called himself Voodoo Victor. \u00a0He apparently used a unique computer cyber-curse voodoo virus he paranormally patented to partake in pestering people for exorbitant extortion money! His emails demanding mad money were seriously smug and so full of pride bragging about how he beat the marvelous Mystic Investigations<\/a>! In fact, our angry replies took the ransom from the original $1.3 million to the final $2.2 million figure! \u00a0Our bad! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Tracking The Hacker<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, those replies and responses from this filthy fiend allowed Rebecca, Zack, and our Psychic Julia Hathaway to locate his wretched ransomware rear! \u00a0A method of GPS\u00a0map scrying<\/a>, and supernatural server tracking did the trick! We’ll give him credit. He was smart bouncing the emails off 13 different computer servers around the world. \u00a0He led us to believe he was in Nigeria<\/a> because we were supposed to wire the money to a Nigerian bank account. However, we ultimately found the blasphemous bastard was in the Bayou<\/a> of New Orleans, Louisiana. \u00a0No surprise since it’s nearly the top-ranked Voodoo practitioner location in the world, second only to Haiti<\/a>! \u00a0Once we knew where the son of a bitch was we toned down our responses and said we were in the midst of raising the funds. We had the MysticJet<\/a> prepared for take-off at our local airport here in Woodland Springs, Colorado<\/a>. Within a few hours, we were in the air headed to Louisiana for some sweet revenge!<\/p>\n

We landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport<\/a> at about 3 PM Central Time. \u00a0We then promptly rented some SUV’s, and raced to Cajun Bayou country! As we entered the\"\" muggy swamps of the Bayou, Rebecca began scrying on a local\u00a0paper map we got at the Chamber Of Commerce<\/a>. \u00a0An hour and a half later we stopped at the end of a muddy dirt road and exited our vehicles cautiously. A series of wood boardwalks navigated through the scum-ridden swamp ahead of us. \u00a0Drake utilized his eagle-eyed vampire vision to see a small cabin in the distance. \u00a0We were about to walk onto the wood construction when at least a dozen Zombies<\/a> began blasting out of the soggy Earth and dark waters at light speed. Clearly, such fast-moving zombies were the product of magic. Most likely Voodoo!<\/p>\n

The Bayou Blowout!<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I bellowed the command, “Evasive walking dead attack pattern Delta Seven!” \u00a0Everyone sprung into action as we took out the zombie scourge with extreme unrelenting prejudice! \u00a0Everyone fought with their specialty tools of the trade. I used my trusty sword, Drake used his bare hands, Rebecca her magic, Zack his bionic strength, Julia telekinesis, and our Cryptozoologist Ashley Abercrombie just stood there smiling as two zombies barely bit her before racing away to be eradicated by the rest of us! She’s an extremely rare Human-Zombie Hybrid so she’s immune to the Zombie Virus, and her flesh is repellent to the mindless living dead drones. Generally, she’d rather not fight, and often plays dead since she can halt her heartbeat, and breathing. \u00a0Since the despicable rotted remains of the zombies were strewn about all over us we jumped into the swamp to wash up a bit. \u00a0Then we headed down the boardwalk.<\/p>\n
