Its been a long time since i blogged. Time to continue again i guess due to the havoc created by the latest virus or malware or to be specific ransomware. You got it... #Wannacry Ransomware.
Ransomware is not new to cyber world it has been there for atleast 3 years. By this time I am sure all must be knowing about working of ransomware and its impact towards data.
If you are affected by Wannacry Ransomware.. you must be thankful since it is just first alarm for cyber warfare, make sure you are safe hereafter by making some changes. Anyhow one cant be 100 percent safe but can recover fastly.
Steps to follow to avoid ransomware attack is as follows
1. Backup! Backup! Backup!... Oh wait dont copy data in internal hard disk. Do it with external HDD
2. Get a paid.. you heard paid.. not cracked Antivirus
3. Update! Update! .. Update your Windows or any applications you use. If you know Microsoft released patch for this vulnerability before itself those who failed to update are the victim.
4. No one in cyber world is so generous to give you free offers or say 1 crore through mail which you are not even aware of.
I know this post is too late for wannacry ransomware but one can prevent future attacks if they take actions now.
P.S: This post is to create awareness only and not to be missued.
