DESCRIPTION

If your business operates on Windows computers, be on the lookout. Cybercriminals created malicious computer software, called CryptoLocker, which can invade your computer, encrypt your data, and then demand you pay a ransom. Afterwards, you have roughly 72 hours to pay the ransom of at least $200 in bitcoins. If you don’t pay the ransom on time, the price can go up to $2,000. Or don’t pay and lose your data forever, which likely won’t be an option if CryptoLocker encrypted files critical to operating your business, such as legal documents, payroll forms, and customer information.
