Ransomware: The Legal Concerns and Should You Pay or Not?
Ransomware is a type of malware (bad software) that encrypts a victim's files, rendering them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common and sophisticated, causing significant financial losses to businesses, government agencies, and individuals alike. Ransomware attacks can be devastating for businesses and individuals alike. However, by taking steps to protect yourself and by seeking legal counsel if you are affected, you can minimize the damage.
