Avoid a Ransomware Attack
Understand the Threat. Strengthen Your Defense. Protect Your Business.
Ransomware attacks are on the rise, targeting businesses of every size and industry. Knowing how these attacks unfold is the first step in protecting your systems, data, and reputation.
The 7 Steps of a Ransomware Attack
1. Gangs Assemble
Cybercriminals form or join groups and share tools to execute attacks.
2. Targets Are Selected
Industries with valuable data or weak defenses are prioritized.
3. Planning Begins
Hackers gather stolen credentials and intelligence from the dark web.
4. Attack Is Deployed
Malware is launched using phishing, social engineering, or credential abuse.
5. Ransom Demands Appear
Access is blocked and payment is demanded — with no guarantee.
6. Data Is Sold or Misused
Even without payment, stolen data may be leaked or monetized.
7. Recovery Is Costly
Downtime, data loss, and legal exposure create lasting business impact.
