It’s no secret that 2017 was the year of Ransomware. If there were any threats about that, they’d probably be extinguished by the fact that ransomware grew more than 250% in 2017. This meant that that there were nearly thrice as many ransomware attacks at the end of 2017, compared to the end of 2016. And these ransomware weren’t fillers either. Some of the class of 2017 ransomware included WannaCry, BadRabit and NotPetya.
2017 also saw the increase in the number of victims that these ransomware would target. They were fish in a barrel as far as ransomware are concerned. The reason for that is the obvious absence of any ransomware removal tool that could come to their aid. It’s one of the primary reason that while the big banks and financial institutes can afford to have terabytes of data safely backed, the smaller businesses will find themselves with no option to remove ransomware.
This is where the question arises; what can these small businesses do? With there a clear lack of any potent strategy to remove ransomware, they can only hope to avoid becoming a target for the ransomware. If by any chance, these small businesses get infected by these ransomware, they end up giving into the demands of the ransomware developers and fulfill all the demands in the terms stipulated by the hackers.
They have received little or no encouragement from the tech industry as BitDefender’s ransomware removal tool failed spectacularly when the city district of Atlanta was the centre of attention. Apart from that the general procedures that are available on the market meant to protect such smaller businesses have proven to be both incapable and powerless when it comes to ransomware removal.
Ransomware is a malware that consistently upgrades its codes and adapts to how a software attempts to remove it. It then returns completely immune to the methods employed by the software. This potentially means that as of right now, not only is there a lack of ransomware removal tools but also the absence of any basic idea on how to remove ransomware.
