What Is Ransomware?
Hackers who want to penetrate and compromise your network will use malicious software, popularly known as malware. There are many types of malware, with ransomware being one of the most common.
As with other forms, ransomware attacks computer systems such as servers, laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. But beyond penetrating systems, it encrypts the data inside to lockout users. Then as the name ‘ransom’ suggests, you have to pay the hackers for the decryption key to access your data.
Hackers usually ask for such payments to be made using bitcoin. While some allow users to access their data after the payment is made, most rarely do. This is why we echo the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s advice on not paying the ransom.
Impact of Ransomware Attacks
Each year, many organizations lose millions of dollars after paying the ransom for ransomware attacks, only to be left without access to their data. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The true cost of ransomware attacks comes indirectly.
First, it affects your productivity. Once you’re locked out of your data, your teams will be left helpless. All the customer, client, and vendor information will be inaccessible. This means they have to wait until the data is recovered for operations to resume normally. In some cases, this may take up to a week.
Then comes the worst part, reputation damage. When it becomes public that your company has been breached in such a way, consumers and partners will be cautious of sharing their data with you. Depending on the extent of reputation damage, it can significantly affect revenues and growth.
