Ransomware Prevention Hacks!
Hackers are using ransomware to hold your computer files and demand money in return. It has been witnessed that the first quarter of 2016, hackers were busy creating new domains and sub domains attacking the genuine ones for their ransomware operations.
There are a variety of ransomware attacks; however, everything ends up to social engineering tactics or using software vulnerabilities to soundlessly deploy on victim’s machine.
Ransomware attacks are very daunting. Encrypted data can be considered damaged beyond repair. However, prevention is better than cure. Having your system properly prepared will help you in curbing such attacks. Here are some ways to keep ransomware away from your machine.
Data Backup
The only biggest weapon to defeat ransomware is to regularly Backup your data. If attacked by ransomware, you will lose all your data. But, with backups you can start from where you left and restore all the lost data and rest easy. Backing up data not only protects you from ransomware but also in case of other disasters like theft, accidental deletion, flood, fire etc.
