Ransomware Attacks

 

Awareness:

Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment for their release. These attacks typically spread through malicious email attachments or software vulnerabilities.

Solution:

1. Backup Your Data Regularly:

   • Use external hard drives or cloud storage to keep copies of important files.

2. Update Software and Systems:

   • Install updates and security patches for operating systems and applications.

3. Avoid Downloading Unknown Files:

   • Only download files from trusted sources, and avoid pirated software.

4. Install Anti-Ransomware Software:

   • Use tools like Malwarebytes or Bitdefender to detect and block ransomware.

5. Disconnect Immediately During an Attack:

   • If ransomware is detected, disconnect the device from the network to prevent further spread.
