KNOWLEDGE SHARING
Hoe houdt u hackers uit uw Whatsapp?
Er is de laatste dagen veel te doen op social media, over hackers die WhatsApp accounts zouden overnemen en zelfs binnen zouden zijn gedrongen bij een telecomoperator. Foto’s van WhatsApp-conversaties suggereren dat geheime conversaties nu in handen zijn van hackers en dat wij allemaal elk moment slachtoffer kunnen worden.
Ransomware - voorkom dat u het volgende slachtoffer wordt!
Een ransomware-aanval kan heel ingrijpend zijn. Alle servers, gegevens en zelfs backups hiervan kunnen “gegijzeld” worden: alles wordt versleuteld, niemand kan er meer bij. Wat rest is een bericht waarin om “losgeld” wordt gevraagd, meestal te betalen in bitcoin, een digitale vorm van betalen waarbij de ontvanger anoniem blijft.
