WHAT IS RANSOMWARE AND HOW TO STAY SAFE FROM IT?

-

'Ransomware' is a type of malware or malicious software that, according to the cyber security, infiltrates users' devices and restricts access to systems and data with the aim of demanding a ransom for release of these.

ransomware can be stopped using antivirus
Ransomware can enter a device in different ways: when people are visiting infected websites, browsing insecure network connections or also through links distributed via email. It is easy to recognize when you are under an attack of this nature, because you cannot access certain information or the device in its entirety.

Security software developer notes that even if users pay the ransom, there is no guarantee that they will be able to fully regain access to their systems. In that sense, he adds that fraudsters ask for different forms of payment that can range from cryptocurrencies to online bank transfers.

How To Prevent?

It is always important to prevent attacks of this nature. The first step that must be taken is to create backups of information on different devices, to recover the data in case of an attack or damage to them. We recommend always having an antivirus program that offers protection against this type of ' malware' and is kept updated to detect new types of cyber-attacks.

Other Measures Are:

Ø Always keep the firewalls and other protection mechanisms for electronic devices active.

Ø Avoid dubious websites.

Ø Do not open links in emails that seem suspicious

Ø Avoid using public network connections and constantly update browsers and operating systems.

Ø According to the National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services, complaints about cyber fraud grow year after year, which is why it invites users to take sufficient precautions to protect their information, devices and money.

One way to protect bank details is through the use of a digital card, since it offers a different card number from the physical card and a dynamic CVV that changes every five minutes to prevent theft and misuse of this information.The digital cards of BBVA Mexico are available in the app BBVA Wallet , which is completely free and can be installed on Android devices and iOS.
