What is Ransomeware Cyber Threats What Businesses Should Know?
Let’s get to know Ransomware. Why should businesses be cautious?
Currently, there is frequent news about “Ransomware” that we often come across. But what exactly is it? Let’s explain it in simple terms for better understanding. Ransomware is a type of malware that is not designed to steal data from user devices. Instead, it encrypts or locks files, such as documents, images, and videos, making them inaccessible to users. If these files are encrypted, users cannot open them unless they have the “key” to unlock and recover the data. Users are then required to pay a ransom as stated in the ransom message that appears.
The text “Ransom” will appear after the files have been successfully encrypted. The ransom amount can vary, typically ranging from $150 to $500 (approximately 5,000 to 10 Thai Baht). Payment must be made through a system that is difficult to trace or track, such as electronic transfers, Paysafecard, or Bitcoin.
