Ransomware

#FixPCTechTips

Most business owners don’t know how to manage security attacks such as ransomware, do you?

Ransomware is the most popular weapon of choice for cyber criminals, Why? Because it is a largely unchallenged and profitable tool for hackers, and they’re aware that some businesses still don’t see it as a serious threat.

The UK’s NCSC has stated that ransomware cyber-attacks are at a record high in 2021 with 777 incidents reported in the 2020/2021 annual period with Russian and Chinese gangs behind some of the most successful attacks on western governments and businesses with disastrous results. And it’s during the upcoming festive period that businesses should be seeing ransomware as an immediate threat.

One of the scariest things about cyber criminals, is that they don’t take breaks or holidays. And they know that you do. According to experts the worst ransomware attacks have occurred during seasonal holiday periods. Past attacks during Mother’s Day and the US Independence Day have the FBI warning the public and businesses regarding possible attacks during Thanksgiving.
