The whole world is in the possession of the Ransomware. | How to live?


On Friday, 12th May, 2017, more than 100,000 computer
ransomware attacks have occurred in almost 99 countries around the world. And the most horrifying thing is that this infection is spreading so far, and this is why it is for this reason that you want to warn and you will be able to save the attack. But before entering the article, if you do not know about RanSmAd , read this article , then read the articles written on malware, viruses, trojans and worms .

Ransomware attack



This year's Ransomware has been identified as the biggest attack in cyber attack history. The horrors of this aggression spread throughout the world. According to avast, 75,000 ransomware attacks in 99 countries have been completed and these numbers are on the rise. This attack was particularly targeted by attackers in Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, but the United States, China, and a few other big companies were attacked by the CNN website.

Ransomware is basically a kind of malware, but it is completely different from other malware. Once it gets infected by your computer, the attacker will encrypt all the data on your computer, and after encrypting, secretly send its encryption key to the hacker. The entire encryption process will take place outside your knowledge, your computer will not show you any notifications. Once the entire data is encrypted, it will show pop-up message to you and money will be debited to you for decrypt the data. You can not bypass this encryption in any way, because it's really a lot of strong encryption.
The system of attacking the RyanSamadware was a bit different.
You were attacked by this malware right away, when only the software itself was installed on your system. It may be that a hacker sent you a mail, which was attached to a file and that you downloaded it and accidentally got caught by this attack. Again, when visiting many websites, without giving you the ransomware tool installed on your computer you would have been attacked.

But this time it happened another story. You do not have to install any software on your own, this malware will not come from any mail. If you are sitting on the computer, this malware will automatically encrypt all the data in your system. And all Windows users can fall into this attack. This attack is targeting only Windows computers. This ransomware is called "WannaCry".

This attack has spread around a particular vendor of the Windows operating system. But in order to fix this security vulnerability, Windows provided a security pat update in March, but those who did not apply this patch yet, their computers could come to the attack. In order to prevent attacks, Microsoft provided patches for Windows XP, their old and support-turned operating system.
Besides, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 also released the update.
According to experts, this year's
RanSware is a worm , there is no need to install it. See, we all know that the Internet is a huge area network.

You, me, the hackers are all on the internet, that means, we all have computer networks. These worms go into any network and after the computer machine is searching and the machine has to look for the goodness. Once you see the weak points of a machine, it will automatically fall into that computer and by hijacking all the data.
Below, I am sharing some tips below, which will allow you to protect your computer from ransomware by following your computer.

RIGHT NOW THE LATEST WINDOWS UPDATE APPLICATION IS MISLEADING


There are many people who are disabling Windows Update due to fear of saving bandwidth. Actually, no system is 100% hack proof, each system has errors. And after finding these errors they are fixed. I was never in favor of disabling Windows updates. However, many believe that there is no cost, they think. Anyway, if you use Windows XP or Windows 7 or 10 open the Update Manager now.

Find out what updates are available, just select the latest update and apply it. Even if your computer is not infected, it is possible to ensure your security right now by updating.

Maybe there is no computer in your WiFi network that has been infected with this ransomware, but be sure to 100% your turn, if your latest update to Windows is not updated. Now understand, why the Microsoft Force Update option in Windows 10? Again, suppose you went to a public place or coffee shop and there you are using the open WiFi, you can also get affected. I have repeatedly said in my security article, stay away from public WiFi. Keep your antivirus program up to date regularly, using a good paid antivirus program.

NOW BACKUP THE NECESSARY DATA


Since no system is 100% proof proof, therefore there can be nothing at the right time right now to back up the necessary data. Maybe your computer survives this attack today, but it may be caught by another type of attack tomorrow, and there may be lost all your valuable data. At an external hard drive or any flash storage, you can unplug the computer with the backup of the data you need. Once you have your computer infected and the backup drive is installed on the computer even if it is wrong, the data will be encrypted.
If you need to backup a lot of data, you can accept online backup services. But keep in mind that if you are taking a service from the online company, it is a trustworthy company, otherwise you can get into trouble. There are also some online backup rocks which can be read from
this article . I would like to recapture the offline backup. You can also backup the DVD or Blu-ray discs.
Only the person whose data has been lost in this attack, can understand. So before making any extreme price, you must first back up the important data, and yes, keep getting regular backups.

I HAVE BEEN ATTACKED, WHAT DO I DO?


Maybe, before reading this article, your computer has become a victim of this attack and instead of decrypting data from you, the money is being fixed. So the matter may be really tragic for you. If you have backed up the data from the beginning, but still a bit of peace But if your fate is really bad and the data goes away without hands, it will really be a bad thing. You may wonder, the hackers will get their money back and the data will be returned. But there is no guarantee that what they will provide to you after paying the hacker.
The hacker will usually ask for a payment from you in bitcoin , and there is no intelligence to trace bits and coins. Credit card or bank payment is easy to catch, but it is impossible for Bitcoin. Also, if hackers once received money from you, why would you have trouble getting mailed? They are doing this for money, is not it?
Unfortunately, when your computer is attacked by this attack, I would suggest, not paying hackers and accepting data loss. There is no guarantee of payment to Kano. Re-install your computer's operating system, format the hard drive, and follow the steps described above. And yes, of course, using very good
firewalls , watch surveillance on incoming traffic and outgoing traffic.

Last word


So friends, this was all the information you needed to know.
After this attack, many websites and blogs have covered this news but very few websites publish articles about how to survive, I had the responsibility to make these information available to you, so I immediately published the article. If I miss any points, then please let us know in the comments below. Follow the tips and stay safe. Please share this article with as much detail as possible, so that everyone can know about this information.
