Issue:

Ransomware is the largest web risk today. Infections similar to Odin file virus invade thousands upon thousands of PCs each day. These viruses encrypt all type of files and make them unusable. Cyber crooks utilize modern cryptocurrencies to obtain payment for their harmful hobbies. They mask under proxy servers and stuff like TOR. It is extremely difficult even for the police and FBI to discover hackers who distribute ransomware viruses. Lots of infected people pay out to criminals to have their data files un-locked.

Way out:

The simple solution to put an end to ransomware plague would be to minimize hackers’ incomes. Average folks as well as businesses must refrain from paying out to hackers. Furthermore, it is crucial that we assure others to never pay out. We should always share this awareness.

Precautionary ransomware defense:

• Prepare backups of all your data files
• Never click on doubtful e-mail attachments
• Take care not to click on dubious hyperlinks in instant messengers and social networking websites
• Set up and always keep your antivirus up-to-date

Explain to others the above ways of protection

Bottom line:

When everyone is ready for ransomware – it is unable to do any damage to us, therefor, there will be no need to pay to cybercriminals for decrypting our data files. Paying out must be considered immoral and must be condemned.
