There are few things as infuriating as finding that cyber criminals have slithered their way into your business. This past week, businesses in the UK and in the United States fell victim to an email virus known as ‘ransomwear’. Unsuspecting staffers opened official looking emails and that’s when the fun (NOT) began. Without proper backups (and sometimes even WITH proper backups), valuable documents became unavailable; stalling business as usual. The virus is called ‘ransomwear’ because company’s were given the option to pay to get their documents back. Companies spent hours of time and lots of resources trying to regain their data as government agencies worked to stop the data thieves.
