    WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BACK UP?

    When ransomware hits, a criminal takes ownership of the infected device鈥檚 files and insists they will not be unlocked unless 鈥渞ansom鈥 is paid. If your computer is backed up, you are less likely to lose data to a ransomware attack.听

    IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU

    You can unknowingly download ransomware onto a device by opening an infected email attachment, clicking an ad, following a bad link, or even visiting a website that has malware embedded.
