Avoiding the 'Pay or Lose It' Scenario




There is a critical task that every computer user knows about, regardless of how tech-savvy they are, but they still don’t get around to it and that is creating a consistent backup process.



More than ever, having your data backed up is incredibly important because of all the threats to hold your computer hostage through the use of ransomware.



If you are unfortunate enough to become a victim of this sneaky attack, you’ll be locked out of your own files until you pay a ransom that can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

This is such a lucrative type of cybercrime that the thieves continue to evolve their tactics to thwart traditional forms of protection, such as anti-virus programs and firewalls.

The encryption used by the thieves would take today’s most powerful computers decades to crack, so your best form of protection is a protected off-site backup.

We install Carbonite for all of our clients and do so, because it’s automatic, can’t be touched by ransomware on your computer and bugs you if it’s not able to perform its daily tasks.
