Ransomware Kya Hai? Aap Bhi Iss Cyber Attack Se bacche ?

Ransomware ek cyber attack hai jismein hackers aapke computer ya mobile ka data encrypt kar dete hain aur phir paison ki maang karte hain taaki woh aapka data decrypt kar saken. Yeh ek bahut hi ghatak cyber crime hai jiske baare mein jaanna aur isse bachna bahut zaroori hai.

Ransomware Kya Hai?

Agar aap sochte hain ki hacker sirf banks ya businesses ko hi nishana banaate hain to galat soch rahe hain. Aaj kal ransomware jaise cyber attacks se koi bhi shikaar ho sakta hai - chhota baccha ho ya retired budhha. Isiliye jaanna zaroori hai ki ransomware kya hai aur isse kaise bachein.  

Ransomware ek qism ka malware (virus) hai jo aapke computer, laptop, mobile ya aur devices mein ghus jaata hai. Yeh virus aapke data aur files ko encrypt (lock) kar deta hai jisse aap unhe access nahi kar sakte. Phir hackers aapse paison ki maang karte hain kyunki sirf unke paas hi encryption ka "key" hota hai jisse woh aapka data unlock kar sakte hain. 

Yeh ek bahut hi khatrnaak cyber attack hai kyunki agar aap paisa na dein to hackers aapke saare data ko permanently delete kar denge. Aur aapne kitne hi backups liye hon, encrypted files kabhi bhi access nahi kar paaoge.

Ransomware Kaise Phailta Hai?

Ransomware virus kai tarah se phail sakta hai lekin sabse zyada aam tareeka hai phishing emails. Hackers bahut zyada convincing emails ya websites banate hain aur agar aap unpe click karo to woh ransomware install ho jaata hai. 

Chaahe woh koi expired free subscription ka popup ho, koi software ka popup ho, ya phir email mein koi link ya attachment ho - agar uspe click kiya to ransomware instantly install ho jaayega. 

Kabhi bhi kisi bhi unknown link, popup, ya attachment pe click na karein. Aur agar ho bhi gaya to turant apne antivirus software se scan karwaayen.

Phir bhi agar ransomware install ho gaya to kya karein?

Sab se pehle to puraani aadat maalik! Chaahe ransomware kitna bhi dhamki de, kabhi bhi uske demands puri na karein aur hackers ko paisa mat dein. Issey aur zyada ransomware attacks ko badhawa milega.

Ek baar ransomware aapke devices mein aa jaata hai to kuch karne se pehle turant saare networks se disconnect ho jaayen. Wireless off kar dein, ethernet cable nikal dein kyunki ransomware phir bhi aur data corrupt kar sakta hai.

Fir jo encrypted files hain unka backup le lein. Inhe decrypt karne ki koshish zaroor karni chahiye lekin kahin bhi padha nahi hai ki woh files wapas milengeen.

Abhi aapko kuch cybersecurity firms se help leni chahiye jinke paas decryptor tools hain. Woh ransomware ka pata laga sakte hain aur kabhi kabhi encrypted data ko unlock kar sakte hain. Lekin guarantee nahi hai.

Lekin agar koi bhi tareeka kaam nahi karta hai to sab encrypted data ko delete karna hi better rahega. Kyunki ransomware wale kitna bhi paisa maangen, bhugtan karne se bhi koi guarantee nahi hai ki woh aapka data wapas kar denge.

Kaise Bachein Ransomware Se? 

Sabse pehli baat to hai ki trusted sources hi open karein, unknown popups aur links ko avoid karein aur strong antivirus install rakhen.

Dusra, bahut zyada backup lena chahiye. Monthly ya weekly cloud backups, removable drives mein backups - jitne zyada backups le paayenge utna better rahega. Kyunki agar kabhi ransomware attack hua to kam se kam aapka old data bach jaayega.

Teesra, ransomware se bachne ka ek bahut hi aasaan tareeka yeh hai ki aapke paas strong passwords un devices par lagaye hue rahein jinhe ransomware nishana bana sakta hai. Waise bhi passwords secure rakhne chahiye lekin yeh cyber attack se bachne ke liye aur bhi zaroori ho jaata hai.

Agar aap online banking, payment apps ya koi aisi services use karte hain to unpe bhi kabhi bhi public ya unsecured wifi ka use avoid karein. Sirf trusted connections ka istemal karein. 

Saare devices pe regular updates aur patches laga kar rakhein kyunki ransomware puraneen vulnerabilities ka faayda uthata hai.

Aakhir mein,ransomware se bachne ka sabse aasaan tareeka hai ki aap aur aapke aas paas ke log aware rahen aur iss cyber attack ke baare mein jaankaari haasil karein. Jitna zyada log aware honge, utna hi ransomware ka khatra kum hoga.
