Alert!

The FBI issues a warning of rampant attacks of ransomware.  " The best defense against these attacks? Protecting your data!"

The FBI recommends users consider implementing the following prevention and continuity measures to lessen the risk of a successful ransomware attack.

• Regularly back up data and verify the integrity of those backups. Backups are critical in ransomware incidents; if you are infected, backups may be the best way to recover your critical data.
• Secure your backups. Ensure backups are not connected to the computers and networks they are backing up. Examples might include securing backups in the cloud or physically storing them offline. It should be noted, some instances of ransomware have the capability to lock cloud-based backups when systems continuously back up in real-time, also known as persistent synchronization
