Most businesses are unaware of ransomware, which is a terrifying crime.
It happens when cyber thieves break into your network, encrypt your data, and refuse to release it unless you pay a ransom. In some attacks, they may spend weeks on your network changing settings. As a result, once the attack has begun, kicking them out or recovering data becomes nearly impossible.
According to official advice, never pay a ransom price. Because there is no guarantee that your data will be returned to you, and you may be targeted again in the future.
However, a new study of previously targeted business executives has been conducted. If they were attacked again, 97% believe they would pay the ransom to mitigate the damage. A third would immediately pay it.
What does that say about the extent to which it affects businesses?
