Pay to get your data back
Ransomware is a cyber threat that locks your data and demands payment for its release.
Falling victim to ransomware can lead to:
- Loss of access to important personal or work files
- Exposure of sensitive or private information
- Financial loss if ransom payments are made
- Damage to personal or organisational reputation
Example
A user clicked a suspicious link, and their files were locked. Because their data was backed up, everything was restored without paying the ransom.
Safeguard your devices with simple steps:
- Back up your data regularly
- Avoid suspicious links or attachments
- Keep your systems and antivirus software up to date
