BCR Romania, one of the big banks that has a large number of clients in Romania now, sends everyone an extremely serious warning that everyone should take into account now, and this because it brings to their immediate attention the major danger represented of ransomware attacks in our country.
BCR Romania talks below about the fact that ransomware attacks are very aggressive, and this is because not only bank data is tracked, but also personal data, so that the victims can be blackmailed by people who want them harm, this activity being, apparently, a very profitable one for hackers.
As you can see in the message below, those from BCR announce the fact that the "return" on investments made by hackers for ransomware attacks can even reach up to 1500%, a function of the type of victims who are affected, so that for many it is worth the risk of unrolling them, and stealing people's money.
BCR says that ransomware attacks are evolving, and that simple data encryption is no longer the only problem of this type of attacks, blackmailing people with data locked in PCs is also a very serious problem, so we must be extremely vigilant about what we do.
Ransomware threats are becoming more aggressive: criminals are no longer only after your bank data, but also your personal data to blackmail you with it. Ransomware infection is one of the most profitable cyber crime activities.
The investment returns for these crimes reach somewhere around 1.500%, and it is better to ensure your safety and not feed such businesses with your money. Cyber security specialists anticipate that new versions of ransomware will no longer be limited to just encrypting your files and demanding a reward, but will move on to blackmail and threats to publish photos or documents on the Internet.
