3).\u00a0<\/strong>WHAT IS RANSOMWARE & Is Your SME Vulnerable to Ransomware Attacks? \u2013 CyberKPI:\u00a0<\/strong>Ransomware<\/strong><\/a> uses encryption to hold a victim\u2019s information at a ransom, rendering it inaccessible until the attacker receives a payment. The malware used by the attackers now employ double-extortion and triple-extortion tactics. For instance,\u00a0 Cybercriminals<\/strong>\u00a0not only encrypt the victim\u2019s data but also steal it, threatening to leak it if the ransom is not paid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
