all partitions, even USB sticks and external drives that happen to be connected
to the infected PC at the time of the attack, immediately?  I didn't know that.
 I was assuming the virus was selective in what it encrypted, and otherwise let
you do some work (I got this impression from reading an article that implied
the PC was infected by ransomware for several weeks, but the owner did not know
until weeks later).

Ransomware does what its designers programmed it to do. If you can 
imagine some way of messing with your system, so can other people. And 
some of them will write a program to do it.

Have a good day,
