After running Debian for nearly 30 years (and other distros prior to that), my Linux server has been hit by a ransomware attack about 11 days ago.

Another machine running firewall sofware is cheap (in terms of

You likely got compromised by downloading something from the internet or via e-mail.

You should put that host offline, look at the Github for that project and look around if this is the only box on your network that is infected.
