Ransomware
shook up the internet world, by hijacking millions of computers worldwide.
Ransomware is a malware that hackers use to take the control of computers. Till
now they have hijacked more than 200000 computers in 150 countries, including
of hospitals, tech companies and universities. So, including mobile app development companies in Miami and California, all tech companies as well as healthcare companies are
taking special care to fight ransomware.
If you want
to protect your system, websites or mobile apps, below I have provided some important
tips that helps you protect your computers from ransomware attack.
Backup Your Files
The best way
to be safe from ransomware is back up all the files, information and images
from your system to another system completely. External hard disk is the best
place to move your information. That means if you have been attacked, the
hacker cannot see any information on your system.
Avoid clicking on suspicious links
and doing unnecessary downloads
Ransomware
can spread through several ways, i.e. while you opened suspicious e-mails or
clicked on suspicious files. When it comes to app, you should not download any
app that is not verified by the official store, and also you should read the
reviews before installing any programs or apps.
Install antivirus program
Antivirus
programs well scan the files to see if the file or application that you are
going to download contain ransomware or not. The antivirus can block secret
installations from malicious adverts when browsing on the web. And also it look
for malware that is already in your computer or device.

Always install updates
You should
install updates to your software regularly when it is available. Doing so will
help you avoid latest viruses.
Don’t use unknown Wi-Fi
Don’t use
any unknown Wi-Fi on your smartphone, instead it is better to invest on good
data pack. The cost of data pack can be higher, but by using your own mobile
network, you can safeguard your bank account details too.
Keep Password Always Private
You should
change your net banking password or any other transaction-oriented password for
every 72 days. You should not have the predictable passwords like (123456), instead
you should use symbols, alphabets and numbers to have a strong password.
Never pay ransom
If
ransomware attacks, don’t pay any ransom (money). Paying may encourage
attackers to do more attacks. And also there is no guarantee that they decrypt
your files.
