Ransomware is becoming an increasingly common threat to businesses, and it’s crucial to understand how it infiltrates your systems.

Through phishing emails or hidden downloads — this is how these malicious programs can end up on your employees’ work computers. Once inside, they begin taking control of confidential data or entire systems, initiating file encryption. The encrypted files usually get unique extensions like .aaa, .micro, .xyz, .zzz, .locky, .crypt, .petya, and so on.

The next step is the victim receiving instructions detailing the ransomware attack’s conditions. You comply — you regain access to your data. Or you don’t. Overall, it’s better not to take the risk and instead protect yourself from such outcomes.

Employees’ knowledge of basic information security rules, preventing anonymous system logins, or the use of shared accounts can significantly reduce the risk. However, the best defense remains professional cybersecurity for corporate networks.
