Ransomware Extortion Prevention and Solutions -with Products and Services by ASSI!
"Ransomware" is computer malware that installs covertly on a
victim's computer, executes a cryptovirology attack that
adversely affects it, and demands a ransom payment to
restore it. Simple ransomware may lock the system in a way
which is not difficult for a knowledgeable person to
reverse, and display a message requesting payment to unlock
it. More advanced malware encrypts the victim's files,
making them inaccessible, and demands a ransom payment to
decrypt them. The ransomware may also encrypt the computer's
Master File Table (MFT) or the entire hard drive. Thus,
ransomware is a denial-of-access attack that prevents
computer users from accessing files since it is intractable
to decrypt the files without the decryption key. Ransomware
attacks are typically carried out using a Trojan that has a
payload disguised as a legitimate file!
"Sadly, we have helped several companies
afflicted by Ransomware and the cost of these
experiences has been high for them.
Our experience and expertise in this area makes us a
great choice for business who want to proactively
put forth "best efforts" to stop these attacks
before they become victims!"
Robert D. Huseman
President/CEO
While initially popular in Russia, the use of ransomware scams has grown internationally; in June 2013, security software vendor McAfee released data showing that it had collected over 250,000 unique samples of ransomware in the first quarter of 2013, more than double the number it had obtained in the first quarter of 2012. Wide-ranging attacks involving encryption-based ransomware began to increase through Trojans such as CryptoLocker, which had procured an estimated US$3 million before it was taken down by authorities, and CryptoWall, which was estimated by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to have accrued over $18m by June 2015!
The choice to make
your business safer and less vulnerable to these
vicious attacks seems like it would be so easy to make.
Unfortunately, the "It will not happen to me"
attitude is far too often proven to be inaccurate. Usually one
of the biggest
problems is having too much confidence in your
technology, which provides an unrealistic belief that
you are adaquately protected. The vast
majority of the time, this is not the case and
finding out the hard way is a tough lesson to learn.
Have your personnel been educated on what to look
for and trained in how to avoid these incidents?
Has your IT Staff or MSP created a written policy
with specific instructions as to what to do, who to
report to and how to minimize any threats before
they become rampant? Is your Anti-virus,
Anti-malware and security up to the task of stopping
or even slowing down an attack?
Advanced Service Solutions has been working with
business to improve safety and help make them secure
for over 20 years. We have many years of
experience in selecting the best products available
and we partner with the top names in the technology
industry.
The cost of finding out the hard way is far greater
than taking reasonable and proper precautions before
anything happens.
