Ransomware Attack: What You Need to Know

What is a Ransomware Attack?

A ransomware attack is a type of cyberattack where hackers infiltrate a computer system, encrypt the data, and demand a ransom in exchange for the decryption key.

How do Hackers Gain Access to Systems?

The consequences of a ransomware attack can be severe, including financial loss, reputational damage, and compromised data security.

What to Do if Youve Been a Victim of a Ransomware Attack
