What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a sophisticated form of malware that locates & encrypts sensitive information within your IT infrastructure. Following a successful encryption, cybercriminals will request a ransom to be paid in cryptocurrency in order to recover the data. Ransomware can be limited to a single piece of infrastructure – such as a hard drive – or it can be spread throughout your entire IT network.
If ransomware is deployed onto your system and you have sensitive data which is encrypted, we strongly advise you not to pay the ransom. There is no guarantee that you will recover any data by doing so, nor will it necessarily be intact. Please get in touch if you need any assistance with ransomware recovery.

How Does Ransomware Work?

Most commonly, ransomware is distributed through multiple cyber-attacks. Phishing emails are perhaps the most typical method of distribution. These emails might contain attachments or a single attached firewall that automatically executes on your computer once downloaded. This then encrypts the hard drive, and in some cases spreads throughout your entire network. Usually by this point, an on-screen note will appear demanding a ransom to be paid to a cryptocurrency wallet in exchange for the return of sensitive data and access to systems.

Employers must consider regular and up-to-date training on phishing attacks for employees. This is the most common method of ransomware distribution, and keeping your employees well aware of phishing emails puts you a step ahead of cyber criminals. Our own Phishing Service provides realistic phishing simulations, where you can train your employees and get reports in real-time. You can find out more here.
