Ransomware Virus Hit More Businesses Hacking More Data
It's more necessary than ever to put a cybersecurity moat around one's websites and company data. Consider the recent case of a hacker collective that stole NSA tools that were published on the internet and used to release the Ransomware virus. Exploiting a bit of code in a Microsoft program used the world over, someone was able to use the exploit to cripple businesses and endanger the lives of hospital patients as well as cut off access to financial accounts and play with infrastructure worldwide. All the user caught on the downside needed to do was pay money to release their data or website from being held hostage. Now, more than ever, safe-guarding and protecting one's web properties and securing one's cyber data is of utmost importance. And no one understands that more than cybersecurity expert Kieran Upadrasta (www.kieranupadrasta.com).
