A major virus is going around, and it is beginning to affect a lot of people! This type of virus that I am talking about is called ransomware. That’s right, you hear me correctly, ransomware!
Ransomware is a type of malware that can really turn your whole world upside down. Basically in a nutshell on what it does is, it holds you computer information for ransom. You cannot get your information back unless you pay a hefty fee of about $300 dollars. Sometimes you have to pay even more than that, some people pay up to $1000 dollars. Jeez, $1000 dollars, now that is
a lot of money for a lot of people living around the world.
Currently this form of malware cannot be stopped, not even by the FBI. There are some online guides to defeat the
ransomware virus, and even get some or all of your files and folders back. However, there is still not much a person can do once they have been hit with this computer virus bug.
Please stay aware of this and keep your
cyber security awareness as alert as possible. Don’t download anything you are unsure of, and certainly don’t open email attachments from people you don’t know.
Stay clear from this virus and protect yourself!
