Avoid Ransomware with These Tips

At ITS, we saw a few articles online claiming that the Cryptolocker threat has ended. Let us ask those people a question: What color is the sky in your world? While it is true that the group behind the original attacks had been taken down last year, Cryptolocker is alive and thriving. We still have a wild variety of variants out there. Learn more about this.

How can you prevent ransomware from happening on your computer? First, remove your email address from your website. While you still want customers to contact you, talk to your IT specialist about creating a form. It creates a more secure interaction and keeps the communications effective.

Second, do not give out your corporate or primary email address unless you need it for important correspondence. Avoid giving it to people who do not need it. Third, use a professional spam filter that will seek out phishing attempts, viruses and DNSBL. To avoid ransomware at the base level, you have to keep your firewalls and antivirus updated at the most essential levels.
