About ransomware
What is Ransomware?
Ransomware are Trojans that creep into a computer system to encrypt all data. The perpetrator demands ransom for releasing the data. Since it is getting easier and easier to buy and use ransomware, numbers of attacks like this, on companies in every industry, increase rapidly.
At the same time, it is getting more and more difficult to protect oneself from the increasing number of attacks. These attacks are getting sneakier and sneakier, the programs cleverer and cleverer. Every month, new ransomware families appear, alongside new methods to bypass security systems.
What are the consequences of a ransomware attack?
When a computer is infected with ransomware, it poses a threat of enormous damage. Once it is in the system, the Trojan can spread to other devices in the whole network and thus incapacitate your whole company. Without access to data, all production processes come to a halt and tremendous costs are accumulated for recovery and clean-up. On top of that, downtime can have long-term negative effects for the image of the company. In the worst case, it is not possible to ever recover the data again – even after paying a ransom.
What are ransomware attacks?
Ransomware can find various ways into your computer. Most often, it steals its way in with emails that ask you to click on a link or that contain malware in the attachment. Contaminated websites and ads are another growing threat. Clicking on the wrong thing activates a tool in the background that searches for weak points in your system. Once found, for example in outdated software, the ransomware is being downloaded and installed on your computer. All this happens unnoticed most of the time.
