In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the scope of the vulnerability of the ransomware virus, which is a very profitable income channel for cybercriminals around the world.
According to data from a study conducted by IBM, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of attempts to plant a ransomware virus through emails in institutions, businesses and organizations. Experts estimate that just in 2016, the ransomware virus industry brought in approxBillion dollars.
These numbers are increasing year by year, and unfortunately, this trend will not stop in the years to come. Along with the increasing number of attacks, the attacks themselves are being perfected and become more creative, more complex and difficult to initially identify or suspect on the part of the attacked body.

The ransomware encrypts all the information stored on the computer it has penetrated, and on all the computers or servers connected to it, thereby effectively paralyzing their operation. The information is held as a hostage, until the release fee specified for it is paid. Unlike attacks by hackers who plant malicious or industrial espionage viruses, the attackers do not intend to make any use of the encrypted information. The virus attacks private individuals, companies and organizations, and does not spare government organizations and hospitals. IBM's research found that 70% of the attacked businesses paid the ransom, in order to get their valuable information back, and that half of them paid amounts higher than 10,000$.
The willingness of businesses and private users to pay in order to release their information strengthens the dubious business model and tempts more cybercriminals to enter the market and produce more sophisticated and brutal ransomware, with the aim of overcoming the existing protection systems, so that new mutations of the virus enter the market at a dizzying, ever-increasing pace All the time.
Most businesses today fall victim to the extortion attempts of the ransomware virus, and therefore the unequivocal recommendation is to prepare with all appropriate measures, in order to improve the ability to recover.
