How critical is the data?
Is the loss life changing, or just annoying?

And thus encouraging them to continue to do this.

Sorry...

For future reference, do not have "hundreds of hours of coding" unbacked up, or on a flash drive.

I 100% agree with you.
in future i m going to backup even the air i breathe.

As noted, you need a proper backup solution.

Also, do you know how this attack happened? What did you download or access to allow this to happen?

You don't want to repeat this experience.

Seconded. To explain how the attack occurred in the first place will help others to avoid becoming victims as well.

Also, do not negotiate with terrorists hackers.

Actually i ve been clumsy: i left port 8080 open straight to my PC, they breach this way and stroke my pc. To use remote desktop i removed all filters. That's it.
