- Pay the ransom. This payment is usually via credit card or bitcoin (a digital currency). Some ransomware viruses even provide help lines if you’re having trouble. Of course there are no guarantees your will get access to your data–these are thieves you’re dealing with.
- Don’t pay and lose your data – This has its obvious downsides, unless…
- You have a safe, clean backup. In that case, you are stuck with the nuisance of restoring your data with the backup, but you aren’t out any money. However, this comes with a caveat: your backups have to be clean. The problem with ransomware viruses is that just making backups may not be sufficient to protect your data, as the backups can be infected also. In the next blog, we will address your need to add an additional layer of protection to handle ransomware attacks.

Howdy are using Wordpress for your blog platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and set up my
own. Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be really appreciated! -

First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick
question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to
know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts
in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Thank you! -

You actually make it seem so easy together with
your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually something that I
feel I would never understand. It sort of feels
too complex and very wide for me. I am taking a look
forward in your next post, I will attempt to get the hold
of it! -
