2. What is Cyber Crime
Webopedia Definition
• Cyber crime encompasses any criminal act dealing with computers and
networks(called hacking)
• Additionally, cyber crime also includes traditional crimes conducted
through the internet
• For example; hate crimes, telemarketing and Internet fraud, identity
theft,
• Credit card account thefts are considered to be cyber crimes when the
illegal activities are committed through the use of a computer and the
Internet.

3. Cyber Crime Statistics
*Crime rate in England and Wales soars as cybercrime is included
for first time
• The sharp rise in the headline figures is due to the inclusion of an
estimated 5.1m online fraud incidents and 2.5m cybercrime offences for
the first time
• The detailed figures for online fraud show 14% of victims lost less than
£20, 27% lost less than £100 and a further 37% lost less than £500. One
per cent lost more than £5,000.
• The virus or malware, known as Dridex netted criminals £20m in funds
from UK Banks in 1 heist
• Report also stated is was reported to have netted over $100m worldwide

4. What is Ransomware
• Ransomware is a strain of malware (malicious software) that encrypts or
locks all of the files on your computer or server, and then demands a
payment (or ransom) to unlock your files.
• It takes many forms, including its most infamous incarnation,
Cryptolocker.
• Other strains include Locky, Teslacrypt, and Cryptowall.
• In some instances, ransomware’s presence can be betrayed by a .EXE
file extension - but cyber criminals are getting more and more
sophisticated, so this often isn’t the case.

5. How Does Ransomware Spread ?
• Like many viruses, the most common source of infection is from emails,
when a user opens contaminated attachments or clicks a malicious link.
However, there are many other sources, like rogue USB sticks, or even
joining free WiFi networks.
How can I Remove it ?
• Unfortunately, there’s no sure-fire way to remove Ransomware.
• Even paying up doesn’t always work; criminals have been known to ask
for higher and higher sums, or claim to have lost the ‘key’.
• The best approach is to access your backups.

6. What can I do to avoid Ransomware?
• There are three major forms of protection:
• Preventative measures,
• Anti-virus & backup.
• Preventative measures are the first lines of defence against Ransomware:
education can ensure that staff are aware of the risks and know what to
look out for, and changing system permissions can lower the risk of
infection.
• Anti-virus is a must for all businesses, and can detect and deflect a high
percentage of attacks.

7. What can I do to avoid Ransomware? Cont’d
• However, due to the ever-changing nature of Ransomware, these steps
aren’t 100% effective. That’s when you need a backup and business
continuity solution. This allows you to roll back to a point prior to infection.
