Still think “it will never happen to me”?
Imagine if one morning, it’s all gone. All your photos. All your documents. All your accounts receivable, all your orders, all your time-card data. ALL GONE.
That’s what happened to a county in Georgia. And then they paid a Six Figure ransom to get it all back.
“Following a ransomware attack earlier this month, officials in Jackson County, Georgia decided to pay a $400,000 ransom in order to obtain a decryption key and return their systems to normal operations. While it’s not normally recommended to pay ransoms, but instead to keep proper backups of critical files, the county decided that it would cost significantly more to restore the systems on their own. It is still unclear how the breach unfolded or how long the hackers had access to the network.”, claims a blog post from Cybersecurity firm, Webroot.
