Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware attack starts with cybercriminals entering a system and encrypting all data, then offering a decryption key if the victim agrees to pay a ransom through cryptocurrency. Cryptolocker is one of the first examples of sophisticated ransomware. It locked users out of their devices and then used a 2,048-bit RSA key pair to encrypt systems and any connected drives and synced cloud services.

Ransomware’s definition says that it is malware designed to make it so that paying a ransom is the only way to restore access to the encrypted data. Automated, protected data backups enable an organization to recover from an attack with a minimum of data loss and without paying a ransom.

Ransomware sometimes deletes itself after it has infected a system; other times, it stays on a device to infect other devices or files. Use antimalware/anti-ransomware. Most antimalware and anti-ransomware software can quarantine and remove the malicious software.
