Service Canada Scam

I got encrypted with ransomware at work: Town of Midland paid 8 bitcoins to cybercriminals to decrypt servers: staff report - Barrie | Globalnews.ca and then service Canada called me demanding bitcoins be paid through the ransomware to avoid the magistrate. Then also said they would block my netflix, paypal, amazon, and they said that my CERB was fraudulent. They communicated through the encrypted ransomware communication text for the ransom demand. I am entitled to the CERB. Possible malware attack grinds production to a halt at Honda plants in Alliston
