Ransomware is an especially damaging type of malware. Once it gets into a system, the ransomware code locks down files permanently. The victim gets a prompt with a message from the hackers – pay a certain amount of money, usually in a cryptocurrency, and we’ll send you the key to unlock your files. According to ransomware statistics, these types of attacks have dropped in frequency – but increased in efficiency. A ransomware attack can be devastating for a business, stopping everything from production lines to client interaction dead in their tracks.
