Ransomware is a type of malicious software that can cause serious trouble for small businesses. It’s like a digital kidnapping where hackers gain access to a company’s computer systems and lock away important files or data. They then demand a ransom, usually in the form of money, to release the files and restore access. Ransomware attacks can be devastating for small businesses as they can result in financial loss, disruption of operations, and damage to their reputation.
Small businesses are particularly vulnerable as they often have limited resources and may not have robust cybersecurity measures in place. Hackers target businesses with the hope that they will pay the ransom quickly to regain access to their valuable data – especially smaller businesses that may not have the resources to stop this.
