Companies and individual people are currently being ‘held to ransom’ by Ransomware on a grand scale and losing lots of money and valuable data in the process. At peak periods, more than ten thousand computers are infected per day – and that’s ONLY in Germany.

Users receive an email with an attachment. Opening the attachment activates malware in the background that immediately starts encrypting all the information it can find.

All files are encrypted with an unbreakable code and only by paying a ransom in Bitcoin the data is being unlocked again.

So how can you protect yourself against Ransomware? Always be sceptical, carry out some plausibility checks first, you are asked to open an attachment or link IMMEDIATELY?

Keep all software up to date and never forget to make regular back-ups of your system on external hard drives.
