Be Aware of a New Cyber Attack Method

In case you missed it, another Cyber Attack in the form of Ransomware has surfaced.  It can be sent as an attachment via email or embedded into a website. 

Some helpful tips from the Chamber:

• Use caution when opening any email attachments or links.  Verify the address of the sender to ensure that it isn’t off by a letter or digit trying to make it seem legitimate
• Back up your files regularly
• Invest in layered security systems (Firewall, Antivirus with active monitoring, Anti-malware, Anti-ransomware)
• Install the latest Microsoft updates.  Microsoft has released security updates including updates for unsupported Windows versions (XP, Vista, etc)
• If you think your computer may be infected disconnect the computer from the network and call a professional
