What is ransomware and how can I protect myself?

Ransomware is a very popular type of malicious code now and has a very peculiar operation: hijacks your files and asks for a monetary ransom.

One of the most concise, yet honest and to the point videos I have seen about ransomware. Suggestions are good, and thank god you mentioned backups. As long as you have that, a good anti-virus, proper knowledge on what a ransomware attack looks like and instant restore software like Shadow Defender or Rollback Rx installed, you will be fine.

Shit like this is why I back up important files online and on memory sticks.

Have more than one backup. I lost almost everything on my computer because the external hard drive failed as I was copying files from it to my new computer. I now make three backups, one of which is to an external drive.

For a moment I thought that my photos of a whole life would have gotten lost :D

Bringt das Problem gut auf den Punkt. Aber besonders für Firmen gibts doch bessere Lösungen als terabyteweise Backups wieder einzuspielen. Cylance nimmt den initialen Exploit auseinander und falls was durchkommt: SIEMs können Ransomwareaktivitäten sofort aufspüren. Ist an sich ja nicht schwer zu identifizieren das verhalten.
