The Real Cost of Ransomware

Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts a victim's files. The attacker then demands a ransom from the victim to restore access to that data, but that's not the only price you pay if your business is attacked. In this episode of the GEEK FREAKS PODCAST, Ron and Thomas discuss real-life examples of ransomware victims, the repercussions of an attack, how incredibly accessible this malicious software is to hackers and the importance of having protection and a data recovery plan in place.
