FBI Releases "Ransomware on the Rise"
Last Revised
The FBI has released an article addressing ransomware campaigns that use intimidating messages claiming to be from the FBI or other government agencies. Scam operators use ransomware – a type of malicious software – to infect a computer and restrict access to it until a ransom is paid to unlock it.
Users and administrators are encouraged to review the FBI article "Ransomware on the Rise" for details and refer to Alert TA-295A for information on Crypto Ransomware.
