This means that, even if a victim can restore their data from backup, the attacker still has power over them. With double extortion ransomware, attackers threaten to publish stolen data if their demands are not met. Double extortion ransomware encrypts files and exports data to blackmail victims into paying a ransom.Crypto ransomware spreads through various means, including malicious emails, websites and downloads. Some newer variants also infect shared, networked and cloud drives. It encrypts all or some files on a computer and demands a ransom from the victim in exchange for a decryption key.

Historically, the two main types of ransomware are crypto and locker. Everything that Paul pointed out in the original visit has now been corrected and is working the way it should.To understand the concept, let's look at the four types of ransomware, along with examples of specific ransomware strains and their effect on the security landscape.
I am happy my network is secure and I have the peace of mind that I have backups of all my important information. I went with Paul and his team at IT Support RI as my new IT company. Paul and his team also quickly realized that we were victims of the CryptoLocker virus (another thing my previous IT guy did not protect me from) and expressed how important backups are. My server was old and outdated, I had no backup system in place, no security for my network, and all my Nidek devices were not working together with Revolution EHR. During the evaluation, he pointed out many issues that my current IT guy was not addressing. He offered to do an evaluation of my practice and I’m glad I took him up on that offer. We began talking and I expressed my concerns with my current tech support company. While attending a conference with my colleagues, I met Paul.
