Welcome to week three of Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Ransomware
A ransomware attack is a type of cyberattack where malicious software (malware) encrypts a victim's files or locks their system, making them inaccessible, and then demands a ransom payment to restore access. Attackers often use double extortion tactics, threatening to leak stolen sensitive data in addition to encrypting it, to pressure victims into paying a ransom, typically in cryptocurrency.
This week’s video module will empower you to make smart security decisions to protect against ransomware attacks.
