29 August, 2017

When facing Ransomware  personal efforts to eliminate it will not be effective if your operating system and antivirus are not updated. If on top of that, you did not make periodic backups, you will probably end up formatting your computer hard drive to prevent malware from spreading.

A lot is said about the measures to face and prevent Ransomware, but what can an organization do when it has already been victimized by this threat and it has not yet recovered its files? If your company did not succeed with anti-ransomware strategies, GlobeNet International, with almost 20 years of experience in the world of information and communications, suggests and endorses some recommendations!

Ransomware is masked in mail attachments, but recent studies recommend that special attention be paid whenever receiving an email with a PDF-like image, clicking on it will open a fake Google account sign-in page. How to notice? The way to know if the page is not authentic is by looking at the address bar of the browser. If the URL is preceded by the prefix “data: text / html”, then there are many reasons to suspect. Stay alert!
