The entry through windows
Looks like even god is not spared. The systems in the Thirumala temple have been a victim of the current cyber attack which goes by the name Ransomware. This is the touted to be the greatest cyber attack we have come across mainly targeting the windows operating systems. All major companies have been attacked by Ransomware and are blackmailed to pay a huge sum of money to retrieve their data which we can never be sure. It blocks access and in order to regain access, you have to pay a ransom thus the name Ransomware.
Let’s move into safer zone
Microsoft has already released a patch for the latest Windows 10 operating system which is mandatory to download. For the older versions, such as Windows XP there is little hope.
★ It is advisable to upgrade to the latest patch of the Windows operating system to be safe against the attack.
★ Additionally, should have a backup of all your files as you never know what may happen.
★ Never click on any sort of unknown links and don’t open emails which appear strange. Stay away from pirated operating systems and mainly do not download from pirated websites and never even go near the popups.
These are the ways by which you could avoid spending bitcoins to the hackers to retrieve your data. Stay secure
