WHAT IS RANSOMWARE?

Ransomware is a small program, call it a computer virus that sneaks into your computer and does not cause any direct damage. However, what ransomware does do is lock your computer. It blocks a certain portion of access to your data. What it doesn't block is access to the internet, so as to be able to give you the message that your PC is locked, and that they would like to receive some money. Ransomware is a combination of the words “ransom” (ransom) and “software” (computer program).

If this happens you have been hacked. The perpetrators are smart enough to keep their distance and not reveal their identities. It is often asked to transfer an amount in Bitcoins or another crypto currency, as these are not traceable.

ICT SECURITY & CYBER SECURITY

Whether you use your computer privately or for business, it is no fun to be confronted with this. It is always important to properly protect your PC, laptop or other devices. Cyber ​​security is important, especially now. Securing your systems to prevent hacking of your PC is really a must. Preventing hackers is better than a cure by properly protecting your PC with an antivirus package.

There are two options for solving ransomware. The first option is the least pleasant and a drain on your wallet, pay, and the hackers will release your PC again. However, there is no guarantee that they will break in again and do the same. The second option is also not so pleasant, empty your PC completely, and reinstall all Operating Systems and software. If you cannot do this yourself, this last option also costs money.

ONLINE BACKUP

The second option will clear your PC and delete all files, photos, documents and everything you've ever done on that PC. Not really something to be happy about. That's why making an online backup of your entire PC files is something you really should do on a weekly basis. This takes little effort, and you will see that the few tens it costs per year will save you many headaches.
