Data Recovery
If your computer is infected with Ransomware, Stellar’s Data Recovery Lab can help you restore the affected data.
Ransomware is a subset of malware in which the data on a victim’s computer is locked, typically by encryption, and payment is demanded before the ransomed data is decrypted and access returned to the victim. The motive for Ransomware attacks is nearly always monetary, and unlike other types of attacks, the victim is usually notified that an exploit has occurred and is given instructions on how to recover from the attack. Payment is often demanded in a virtual currency, such as bitcoin so that the cybercriminals identity isn’t known.
Backup Your Data Regularly
Backup Your Data Regularly. Once a Ransomware infection occurs, it’s often too late to recover the encrypted information. Your research project or other important information may be lost permanently.
Identification
Identification. Ransomware typically appears as phishing emails, either with links to malicious websites or infected files attached. You might also see a Ransomware attack perpetrated through a pop-up telling you that your computer is infected and asking you to click for a free scan. Another possible vector is malvertising, malicious advertising on an otherwise legitimate website.
