Ransomware Removal
Ransomware is one of the greatest risks for the modern-day business.
It wasn’t too long ago that malicious software used to primarily affect those who weren’t computer savvy. But, as ransomware strategies become more sophisticated, anyone with a computer is now deemed high risk for attacks.
What is ransomware?
Similar to holding digital assets hostage, ransomware attacks occur when a computer user unknowingly downloads malware from unknown hacker sources. The ‘kidnapper’ then encrypts files and tries to charge a ransom to release the assets.

Types of Ransomware
Once you click the links in any of the following, your files will become compromised using scareware, screen lockers or encryption and the hacker will now demand a ransom payment usually in the form of cryptocurrency or credit card.
Malspam
Spam emails are more than just a nuisance. Unsolicited mail can be used to deliver malware in the form of links, attachments and PDF or Word files. BE CAREFUL what you click!
Malvertising
Malvertising involves using online advertising to send malware requiring little to no user intervention required with an infected iframe. You might not even know this has happened!
Spear Phishing
Spear phishing is more targeted. The process involves faking an email pretending to be from someone else and encouraging the receiver to click on a malicious link.
Social Engineering
This is another way to encourage someone to click links in an email by pretending to be from a governing body such as the police or government.
