Ransomware Study Breaks Down Trends"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Malwarebytes recently sponsored a ransomware study, and you may be surprised by the results&#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Malwarebytes surveyed 540 IT professionals regarding how ransomware has impacted their organizations.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/320027570\/Malwarebytes\">study <\/a>goes into detail about how many ransomware attacks corporations experienced in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the U.K.\u00a0 In each country, a percentage of businesses were attacked by ransomware 1-5 times.\u00a0 Specifically, for those surveyed\u00a0in the U.S. 41% reported experiencing 1-5 ransomware attacks, 18% in Germany, 42% in the U.K, and 27% in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The speculation behind the U.S. experiencing a higher number of attacks than that of Germany is due to the amount of the ransomware demand.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/article\/3103565\/security\/almost-half-of-us-businesses-hit-by-ransomware-study-says.html\">InfoWorld<\/a> reported most ransoms demanded in the U.S. are around $500 USD.\u00a0 However, in Germany the demands are far higher; roughly $10,000 per demand, to be exact.\u00a0 So although their attacks are not as frequent, the financial magnitude is far higher than that of U.S. attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also found that only 3% of U.S. companies reported paying the ransom demand.\u00a0 This is far lower than Canada, who reported paying the ransom 75% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever find yourself the victim of a ransomware attack, we recommend you take the following five steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Do not pay the ransom<\/b> \u2013 If you do, you\u2019re just giving the hackers a reason to keep hacking.\u00a0 Use your back up files to restore your systems.\u00a0 Again, don\u2019t pay!!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inform the FBI<\/strong> \u2013 By informing the FBI they can investigate to potentially bring legal action against the hacker.\u00a0 All cyber criminal activity should be reported to the federal IC3 agency.\u00a0 You can file a complaint with them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/default.aspx\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Notify your current security software company<\/strong> \u2013 You also MUST inform your security software company.\u00a0 If they didn\u2019t know they missed a malicious attack, they cannot stop it in the future.\u00a0 Also, many anti-virus software companies share their blacklist, or the list of known bad files.\u00a0 So by sharing it with your software company, they then share it with others; saving thousands of people from falling victim to the same attack that just got you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Educate yourselves and your employees <\/strong>\u2013 Many times we attend one training, or listen to one webinar and consider ourselves educated on the matter.\u00a0 This cannot be further from the truth.\u00a0 Continued education on current cyber security threats is imperative.\u00a0 We recommend our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowbe4.com\/\">KnowBe4 <\/a>for both personal and enterprise training on cyber security.\u00a0 As always, all PC Matic home\u00a0security subscribers are offered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/12\/free-cyber-security-training-for-pc-matic-users\/\">free cyber security training<\/a> through KnowBe4 as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reevaluate your security software protection<\/strong> \u2013 If your security software failed you, perhaps you should look for an alternative security option.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-cert.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/TA16-091A\">United States\u00a0Computer Emergency Readiness Team\u00a0(US-CERT)<\/a> strongly advises using a whitelist security technology.\u00a0 For
