As the name suggests, it involves a hacker gaining an advantage against you and demanding a sum of money from you to stop the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lincoln College in the United States of America, a school with a history of 157 years, has not withstood two things: The Covid Pandemic and Ransomware Attacks. According to the Malwarebytes blog, in December 2021, this school, which was already suffering from low enrollment in its classes due to the Pandemic, was attacked by hackers and the school's data was encrypted. In order for the information to be decrypted, the hackers demanded various sums of money from which the Lincoln school paid a ransom for the data at a price of just under 100,000 US dollars, according to CBS News. However, the school remains closed and a donation strategy is being attempted to restart the engines, but the future doesn't look too bright for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As strategies to apply against such attacks, Malwarebytes recommends measures such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>authentication through several factors (confirmation, e-mail, pin, phone number...);<\/li>\n<li>installing an antivirus on the computer system;<\/li>\n<li>updating software, to avoid security breaches;<\/li>\n<li>regular back-up of files;<\/li>\n<li>training for employees, regarding the field of IT security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un tip de atac cibernetic foarte grav este atacul ransomware.
