Ransomware attacks

Ransomware attacks

Ransomware attacks are not improving at all; on the contrary, according to statistics, they are growing every moment and are very disturbing. Most of us ask ourselves what to do if we fall victim to an attack, pay or maybe not! As for me, I always advise against paying the ransom; it is my principle. If anyone asked me about it, my answer is NO! However, it is each decision.
Why I don’t recommend paying the ransom:
1) If you pay, criminals will be apparent that you are ready to pay and recover your data now and in the future. Remember, an attack can always repeat itself.
2) We can never be sure that our information will be fully returned to us and that it will not be used on the black market. You have no certainty, no guarantee. 
3) By paying, you expand the chain of attacks and expose similar industries to attacks. Criminals watch the sectors that pay, and the wheel is spinning. Remember about others.
Secure your data in advance, and you will not have to ask yourself – To pay or not to pay!
