With this hitting so close to home how do you protect your information from “Ransomware”

It is EASY and it is FREE!

1. Use a free cloud system like:
Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, iCloud
and use their free syncing tools to keep your Document/Photos/Desktop/Video folders backed up to the cloud.
2. If you are hit with ransomware, DO NOT PAY. They already can get into your computer so they will do it again knowing you are a sucker.
3. Reinstall your operating system and get your files from the cloud service of your choosing.

If you want an extra layer of protection purchase a portable hard drive and back up your computer at least once a month to the drive and put it in a fire safe for safe keeping.

A statement from the DCH Health System said the ransomware is limiting how the hospital can use its computers.
