Businesses that rely heavily on computers and internet to store, process, and transfer critical information can be crippled when ransomware attacks. The attack can be fatal as well as the after-effect. When not handled properly, the infection could spread to the entire network. This means users won’t be able to easily get access to all resources unless they pay the ransom.
The problem, however, is that even when the owner pays the ransom, resources infected can’t be easily restored and recovered. Additionally, there will most likely be another attack that could happen if the owner does not secure a reliable and effective ransomware security software. Ransomware can make businesses lose a lot of money, important files and documents, and it could destroy its reputation.
