Then your PC slows to a crawl. A message suddenly pops up and takes over your screen. &#8220;Your files and hard drive have been locked by strong encryption. Pay us a fee in 12 hours, or we will delete everything.&#8221; Then a bright red clock begins counting down. No antivirus will save your machine. Pay the fee or lose everything.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re the latest victim of a <a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/south-jersey-cyber-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ransomware attack<\/a>. The scary thing is, you&#8217;re not alone. The ransomware market ballooned quickly,\u00a0from a $400,000 US annual haul in 2012, to nearly $18 million in 2015. The average ransom\u2014the sweet spot of affordability for individuals and SMBs\u2014is about $300 dollars, often paid in cash vouchers or Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>The ransomware market scaled up so quickly, claims a recent report by Imperva, due to the rise of ransomware-as-a-service, or RaaS. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ransomware authors are marketing on-demand versions of code, using traditional malware distributors in a classic affiliate model.<\/li>\n<li>The ransomware author collects the ransom and shares it with the distributor.<\/li>\n<li>Malware is distributed through spam email messages, malicious advertisements, and BlackHat SEO sites.<\/li>\n<li>According to the Imperva report, &#8220;in classical affiliate marketing, the larger cut goes to the possessor of the product. In RaaS &#8230; the ransomware author gets a small cut of the funds (5%-25%) while the rest goes to the distributor (affiliate).&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Using the deep web, TOR, and Bitcoin, the report says, &#8220;this model, based on TOR and Bitcoins, is designed to keep the identity of the author and the distributor hidden from law enforcement agencies.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Phishing in particular,\u00a0is a highly effective tactic for malware distribution.<\/p>\n<p>The well-worded email appears to come from a legitimate email address and domain name, and raises very few irregularities. The email comes with a demand for money for an arbitrary service, along with a link that purports to be an &#8220;overdue invoice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click that link and open the file (which looks like a Word document), and you&#8217;ll become the latest victim of ransomware \u2014 that is, malware that encrypts your files and locks you out of your computer until you pay a ransom.<\/p>\n<p>Phishing attacks have also helped ransomware move into the enterprise. In 2015 the medical records system at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center was attacked. The hospital paid $17,000 in Bitcoin to unlock the sensitive records. In early 2016 the Lincolnshire County Council was snagged by a phishing scheme and held up for 500 dollars.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent your business from attack, make sure the IT department and communication team are in sync, keep your company&#8217;s security systems updated, and remind employees to use caution when clicking on email links from unknown addresses.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been hacked, the ransomware rescue kit provides a suite of tools designed to help clean particularly pugnacious malware.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses that suffer ransomware attacks face a tough choice. Paying the fee could restore access to mission-critical data, but there&#8217;s no guarantee the extortionists will honor the deal. And of course, paying a ransom provides incentive to hackers and validates the attack.<\/p>\n<h4>Have questions?<\/h4>\n<p>Get answers\u00a0from\u00a0Microsofts Cloud Solutions Partner!<br \/>\nCall us at:\u00a0856-745-9990 or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"South Jersey Techies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Jersey Techies, LL C<\/a>\u00a0is a full\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies Managed Services\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Managed Web and Technology Services Company<\/a>\u00a0providing\u00a0IT Services,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Web Design\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/website_design.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website Design Services<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Server Support\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/server_install.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Server Support<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Network Consulting\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/network_consulting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Network Consulting<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Internet Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/voip.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Internet Phones<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Cloud Solutions Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/cloud.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud Solutions Provider<\/a>\u00a0and much more.<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Contact for More<\/a>\u00a0Information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RaaS has outgrown smaller targets and now threatens governments, NGOs, and SMBs.
