How Ransomware Works?

in cloud •  7 years ago 

Ransomware starts with an unsolicited email, typically designed to trick the victim into opening an attachment that includes a Trojan virus disguised as a legitimate file.

The ransomware leverages flaws in the computer's operating system to force it to run the ransomware code.

The ransomware encrypts important files on the system and demands a ransom payment to decrypt them, typically using untraceable cryptocurrency like Bitcoin​.

Ransomware like WannaCry can also use flaws in the Windows OS to replicate and spread around the victim's​ computer network.

Protecting your systems against Ransomware is a challenge as it is constantly evolving and even the best virus protection is only effective 50% of the time.

Multi-version cloud backup is your best weapon against ransomware attacks. A cloud backup provider automatically backs up all your folders and files continuously. That means every time you open a file, make an edit and save it on your computer, it’s automatically updated and backed up to the cloud as well, keeping all your important data safe at a secure offsite location.

After removing the ransomware virus you can easily restore previous versions of all your files.

For extra peace of mind, ​a cloud backup solution uses advanced encryption to protect your data before it even leaves your computer, making sure you are the only one who can restore and access your information.

Won't it cost a lot for this level of security?

Not at all! Our Unlimited backup service costs less than 27p a day for a single computer ​and starts at less than £1 a day for our server solutions.
