    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.
