Ransomware WTF?
Man as if there wasn't enough scams and viruses out there.
Back your stuff up and use external drives if possible.
This isn't caused by porn sites though.
They have just been targeting guilty porn viewers.
But they have been targeting anyone they can
Tips to avoid ransomware
1. Maintain current anti-virus software that is obtained from a reputable source and is regularly updated.
2. Ensure the operating system is updated to ensure any security vulnerabilities are mitigated.
3. Use strong passwords to protect personal information.
4. Limit the amount of personal information placed on the internet.
5. Do not provide financial or other personal information to people that you do not know and trust.
6. Never click on links contained within spam or unexpected emails.
