New Ransomware Alert: Stay One Step Ahead

Protect yourself from these guys

Ransomware is like that uninvited guest who locks you out of your own house and demands a ransom—in Bitcoin, no less. In 2025, attacks are surging, with a 40% increase in incidents targeting small businesses (source: Cybersecurity Ventures 2025 Ransomware Report). These digital kidnappers encrypt your data, grind operations to a halt, and cost millions in downtime and recovery.
