Ransomware is big business. It’s one of the fastest growing online crimes. Cyber criminals are targeting small and medium sized companies as well as non-profits and government agencies.
It’s the computer crime where your data is encrypted so you can’t access it unless you pay the ransom fee.
The really scary part is that it’s unlikely you’d realize you were under attack from ransomware until it was too late.
Cyber criminals hide in your network for between 60 to 100 days before they strike. During that time they’re checking out your network, identifying vulnerabilities, and preparing what they need to hit you with the attack.
