BEWARE OF RANSOMWARE

What you should do

What you should NOT do

What you should NOT do

    

Do keep a backup of your data


This always remain the first lesson of our “Privacy 101” lecture. Nobody ever supposes anything awful will strike, until it actually does! But in such cases, won’t it be great that you have safe copy of all your important data? So, even if cyber criminals get a hold on your personal data, you still won’t have anything to lose.

  

Do keep a backup of your data


Configure and maintain an endpoint security solution to stay protected against any Ransomware strain. It is always a good idea to have both anti-malware software and a software firewall to help you identify threats or suspicious behavior.


Do Keep your Software Up-to-Date

 

The bad guys know about your system’s vulnerabilities before you do.  And then they try to use them to get on your machine. Therefore, there’s no better time than now to update all your software and safeguard your privacy against any potential Ransomware attack that may hit you in future.

What you should NOT do

What you should NOT do

What you should NOT do


Don’t Pay the Ransom


Paying the Ransom may seem like most easy approach, yet it is just reassuring and funding the assailants. Regardless of the possibility that the ransom is paid, there is no certification that you will recover your assets back. Therefore, no matter how easy going it seems, don’t pay the Ransom. It will only make things worse!


Don’t Click on Suspicious Email links


Cyber crooks are not just bad, they’re canny too. Spam Emails are one of the most popular email scams running across the world since decades. Whatever their con strategy be, the bad guys just want you to click on an attachment to install the malware. Don’t do it.  Just don’t click!


Don’t trust anyone…over anything


Exercise caution during your online activities Don’t click on links inside emails, and avoid suspicious websites. If your PC does come under attack, use another computer to research details about the type of attack. But be aware that the bad guys are devious enough to create fake sites, perhaps touting their own fake antivirus software or their de-encryption program. Hope these tips will help you keep Ransomware from wrecking your day!

Ransomware "WANNACRY"

 It's called WannaCry, and it's brought computer systems from Russia to  China to the UK and the US to their knees, locking people out of their  data and demanding they pay a ransom or lose everything.  So far, more than 200,000 computers in 150 countries have been affected, with victims including hospitals, banks, telecommunications companies and warehouses. 

Ransomware "BAD RABBIT"

The Bad Rabbit Ransomware Attack looks very similar to the Petya/NotPetya incident. Most of Europe is affected although Russia and Ukraine were hit first. Bad Rabbit does spread through your network and uses a tor/onion based payment system. Ransom demanded to recover encrypted files is about 280$ to start. I do not recommend paying the amount. Use a decent antivirus/anti-malware solution and keep backups!
