RANSOMWARE: KNOW IT. SPOT IT. STOP IT. 🔐
WHAT IS RANSOMWARE?
Malware that locks or encrypts your files and demands payment before access is restored.
HOW DOES IT SPREAD?
Often through suspicious email attachments, malicious links, unsafe downloads, compromised websites, or infected devices.
HOW CAN YOU DETECT IT?
Watch for suddenly inaccessible files, unusual file extensions, ransom messages, system slowdowns, or unexpected security alerts.
HOW CAN YOU PREVENT IT?
Keep software updated, use strong passwords and MFA, avoid suspicious links, and install trusted security software.
PROTECT YOUR DATA!
Back up important files regularly and keep backups offline or separately protected. Never assume you are too small to be targeted.
Stay alert. Think before you click. Protect your digital world.
