Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware attacks have become a major threat to businesses and individuals alike. In recent years, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of attacks, as well as the amount of money demanded by cyber criminals. The evolution of ransomware has been rapid and complex, with attackers using a variety of tactics and techniques to target their victims.

One of the most common ways that ransomware is delivered is through phishing emails or malicious websites. These attacks can be incredibly convincing, with cyber criminals using social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading malware onto their computers.

Once the ransomware is installed, it begins encrypting the victim’s files and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. This payment is often demanded in cryptocurrency, which can make it difficult to trace the attackers.

To protect against ransomware attacks, it is important to take a proactive approach to security. This includes keeping software up-to-date, using strong passwords, and regularly backing up important files.

If you do fall victim to a ransomware attack, it is important to have a plan in place for responding to the incident. This may involve disconnecting affected devices from the network, contacting law enforcement, and seeking assistance from cybersecurity experts.
