1, back up data regularly.
Regular backup can at least reduce the risk of losing important data. During the backup process, it is best to back up to the external device and cloud storage at the same time to prevent the external storage device from being locked after the computer system is infected. In addition, the backup data should be encrypted and kept confidential to prevent theft or disclosure.
2. Update security software and system patches regularly.
Blackmail virus attacks often exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. Once there are vulnerabilities in the system, attackers may use these vulnerabilities to attack. Constantly updating security software and patches can effectively prevent such attacks.
3. Improve employees' safety awareness.
Most ransomware attacks are carried out through email, social networks and other channels, and these channels are often accessed through employees' computers. Therefore, by making employees fully aware of this threat and screening and verifying related emails and links, the risk of ransomware attacks can be greatly reduced.
4. Establish an emergency response plan
In case of ransomware attack, enterprises or individuals should take immediate measures to isolate and control the infection so as to minimize losses. The emergency response plan should include the backup strategy, virus scanning and recovery plan when the attack occurs.
Please don't pay the ransom easily.
If you have been attacked by ransomware, don't pay the ransom easily. Paying the ransom will only stimulate the attacker to continue the attack, and there is no guarantee that the data can be decrypted. Instead, we should contact network security experts at the first time to find more effective solutions.
