    in General Discussions

    Know what McAfee has been recommending individuals and organizations to level up their security and save themselves from ransomware attacks. To know more read this article.


    A question that pops up now and then in the recent digital era- What is ransomware?


    Well, it is a malware or a type of cyber threat that has grown rapidly in the last few months. The hackers encrypt and hold important data and information to pressurize the victim to pay the ransom. The victim can be a person, a family, a group of people, or an entire organization. The data is held captive with no permission of access to the owners. The victims are demanded a certain amount of money in return for access. According to McAfee, it is not enough to just buy an antivirus solution and installing it via mcafee.com/activate.
