News reel
Ransomware is a cyber attack where attackers encrypt people’s files and demand money in exchange for the decryption key. To gain access to files, these attackers target the target system through phishing mails or software apps. Such an attack can have serious consequences. Any well-monitored antivirus backup and anti-malware software can be used to prevent such attacks. While such measures may not completely prevent attacks, they do reduce the chances of your data being stolen.
