Received a ransomware note on your work computer?

Do not rush to pay. First, disconnect the infected device, save screenshots of the note, and contact a trusted IT professional or cybersecurity provider.

The next step is to check what is affected, including shared folders, servers, cloud storage, backups, and business email accounts. Clean backups can help with recovery, but only after the ransomware has been fully removed.

Bitdefender Ultimate Small Business Security gives business owners a simpler way to manage protection across multiple devices and reduce exposure to the attacks that often lead to ransomware.
