Ransomware
Ransomware is another type of malicious software that gains unauthorized access of the user’s computer and encrypts the data. As soon as a user clicks the encrypted file or folder, a message is displayed where attackers demand money for decrypting the subjected file or folder. This cyber threat is so lethal that it has the potential of even locking a computer screen. The common sources of ransomware include phishing or spam e-mails and clicking on suspicious links while browsing the internet.
Though ransomware attacks are avoidable by just educating yourself and not clicking on the dubious links, but for more thorough protection, it is foremost to keep the operating system updated and patched so that cyber threats can be negated. Another trick is to not give administrative privilege to every software unless you feel that there is a sheer need of doing so. Moreover, the installation of the antivirus and regular backups of the vulnerable files is another way of dealing with ransomware with stern hands.
