Hi guys, today we will brief ourselves on Ransomware. Nw what is Ransomware?
Ransomware is one of the biggest cyber threats in the world . What it does is it encrypts ALL your data and locks you out. It also asks for a ransom, typically between $200 and $500, to give you the decryption key.
To protect yourself against ransomware, do this:
Do frequent data backups (in multiple locations)
Don’t keep vital information only on your computer
Never access .zip attachments in e-mails from unknown senders
Don’t click links in e-mails from unknown senders
Keep your OS and apps up to date at all times
Use a reliable antivirus
Add another layer of security with a product that protects you from attacks that antivirus can’t block (Heimdal PRO is an option).

Well this is for those who thinks they are too good to be hacked
A lot of people think:
“I don’t need security programs because I don’t access unsafe locations.”
First of all, even legit websites can be compromised.
Second of all, there are plenty of attacks that happen without user action (aka clicking on something, downloading data, etc.) – they’re called drive-by attacks.
Third, even if you were a cyber security expert, there are still plenty of vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to get to you.
To be safe online is quite similar to driving your car. You may have common sense and pay attention to potential dangers, but can you always predict what others are doing around you, in traffic?
Don’t think you’re too good to be hacked. You’re not. No one is. (Sorry to burst your bubble there)
