1. Malicious software and ransomware‍

Malicious software - ‘malware’ for short - is any software or program designed to damage or hack a target including viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and ransomware. It can disrupt IT and computer systems and, in more extreme cases, delete your personal data or hold it hostage until a ransom is paid. Read the SPYSCAPE guide to malware and find out why you might be a target.

You can take steps to protect your data before cyber gangs strike but don’t be complacent. The WannaCry ransomware attack infected 230,000 computers in 150 companies in one day. If you are worried you’ve already been hacked, SPYSCAPE Online Security Tips can help you figure out your next steps.
