Some call it “Ransomware Fever” due to rapid rate of increasing report of attacks on internet users and majorly data driven popular organizations in the United States of America (USA). It is not a new cyber attack but it has increasing gained popularity in the last 3 years making it one of the booming illegal cyber business for the crooks behind the spread due to most victims preferred to pay ransom ranging from $150 to $500 for access to the keys to regain access to their encrypted data without reporting to cyber crime authorities in their country. What is Ransomware? Ransomware is a type of malicious software that carries out the cryptoviral extortion attack from cryptovirology that blocks access to data until a ransom is paid and displays a message requesting payment to unlock it – Wikipedia. What that simply means is that, the victim’s data will be coded via their malicious software and the cyber attacker would then demand to enter codes to unlock before regaining access which they alone could provide in exchange for a demanded amount and payment requested via Bitcoin to make their real identity remain hidden and sealed off from their victims and cyber crimes monitoring agencies. How To Prevent, Stop Ransomware? Considering the alarming rate at which this malicious software is been distributed via the internet now, there is need for you to take note of 8 basic safety and precaution measures: 1) Avoid downloading free software from untrusted sources online 2) Check to make sure your Antivirus is up-to-date including their latest patches 3) Download and install latest Windows patches for your version of Windows OS https://www.globalwebhost.net/ransomware-attacks-2017-what-is-ransomware-how-to-prevent-stop-ransomware/ 5 Likes 1 Share

Nice... I hate those things. Anything ware... Malware, ransomeware etc. If you work over the internet a lot you will know it can be very depressing and frustrating. Scanning, formatting, rebooting, uninstalling stuffs just to get it off your computers. I remember when my site www.hrtechnique.com was spammed a while back by some DNS Unlocker malware. Christ!. Let me look for the picture I took of it if I can still find it. 5 Likes |

GlobalWebHost:You tried. But this alone is not effective in preventing randsomware! Also have two user accounts on your system with the same administrative privilege. Then. Randsomware only attacks screen. So once you login using your second admin password. Then go to registry to correct it. Then boot In safe mode 7 Likes |
