\"Ransomware<\/a>This year, fans of the rapper Megan Thee Stallion declared that it was a \u201chot girl summer,\u201d a pop culture concept\/meme that shares a name with one of her songs. However, The New York Times<\/a> has a different description for the warmest months of 2019: \u201cthe summer of crippling ransomware attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

These cyberattacks<\/a> have hit numerous cities and towns, with more than 40 municipalities victimized this year, according to the Times. Big cities like Baltimore and small towns like Lake City, Fla. alike have dealt with hackers<\/a> hijacking their computer systems and data. School districts have gotten hit by ransomware recently as well, according to Ars Technica<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This particular variety of cybercrime is also a growing threat to private companies, with a staggering 365 percent increase in business detections of ransomware from the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of this year, according to research from Malwarebytes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IBM X-Force Incident Response and Intelligence Services (IRIS) have also noted that destructive cyberattacks are on the rise, according to the article \u201cFrom State-Sponsored Attacks to Common Cybercriminals: Destructive Attacks on the Rise<\/a>\u201d from SecurityIntelligence, an informational site focused on cybersecurity and sponsored by IBM.<\/p>\n

The article states that in comparing the first half of 2019 to the second half of 2018, the X-Force IRIS team observed a 200 percent increase in the number of destructive attacks they helped companies handle.<\/p>\n

As cybercriminals become more aggressive, business leaders must invest more than ever in proactive IT security strategies<\/a> and ensure they stay informed about these constantly evolving threats to their companies. Here\u2019s everything you should know about ransomware right now to keep your organization as safe as possible.<\/p>\n

What is ransomware?<\/h2>\n

Ransomware is a kind of malware that infects IT environments and then encrypts the victim\u2019s files, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency<\/a> (CISA), which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. The attackers then demand payment (the ransom) in exchange for the decryption key.<\/p>\n

This kind of malware can be extremely costly for victims. For example, Lake City paid a ransom of approximately $460,000 in Bitcoin to get the town\u2019s data decrypted, the Times reported. The municipality estimated that rebuilding its computer systems would have come at an even higher price.<\/p>\n

How long has ransomware been a problem?<\/h2>\n

This malware variant has been wreaking havoc for over a decade. The CSO article \u201cThe history of ransomware<\/a>\u201d describes it as \u201cthe most pervasive cyber threat since 2005.\u201d<\/p>\n

It gained notoriety in 2017 in particular due to the worldwide impact of the variants WannaCry and NotPetya, according to the ZDNet article \u201cCybercrime: Ransomware attacks have more than doubled this year.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

How can I prevent ransomware attacks?<\/h2>\n

There are various steps you can take to avoid becoming the victim of a ransomware attack.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t click on suspicious email attachments or links in \u201cphishy\u201d messages. <\/strong>Phishing<\/a>, or sending out emails that spoof legitimate correspondence, is a common method for spreading ransomware, according to the CISA.<\/li>\n
  2. Back up your data. <\/strong>Frequently backing up your data and testing those backups will allow you to restore your systems without having to pay the ransom if you get hit by ransomware. This is just one of many reasons that you should have backup, business continuity and disaster recovery solutions<\/a> in place.<\/li>\n
  3. Patch and update everything regularly. <\/strong>This will take care of any vulnerabilities that hackers could potentially exploit, according to Cisco<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Educate your end users on best security practices. <\/strong>Many cybersecurity incidents stem from human error. Ensure that everyone in your organization takes precautions and can spot scams (e.g., phishing emails<\/a>), Cisco advises.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What should I do if I get infected by ransomware?<\/h2>\n

    Preventing ransomware from ever infecting your IT environment in the first place is the ideal scenario. However, if you do end up getting hit by this nasty malware variant, you should follow this procedure, according to Kaspersky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Don\u2019t pay the ransom. <\/strong>You have no guarantee that the cybercriminals will release your data, and giving in only encourages this kind of cybercrime.<\/li>\n
    2. Isolate the infected device. <\/strong>Disconnect it from all networks and the internet.<\/li>\n
    3. Remove the ransomware. <\/strong>This usually involves running security software and a decryption tool, as well as restoring your data from backups.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
