ParticipantRansomeware is spreading through the phishing emails. The critical purpose of ransomware is to deny access to get paid. Sometimes the data itself does not value the hacker in terms of commercial. The availability of data by the user is what can make money hor hackers. The server administration should do a regular backup of the data to make sure the user can access the data from an alternative server. This is included in the recovery plan/business interruption plan/risk management plan.

ParticipantAlso, we should set up the firewall for protecting a network and avoid using the system as administer authority.
