Ransomware attacks have become an increasingly prevalent threat, targeting businesses of all sizes, including the burgeoning quick commerce industry. These cyberattacks can cripple operations, lead to significant financial losses, and damage a company’s reputation.
Why Do Ransomware Attacks Happen?
Ransomware attacks often exploit vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications. Some common reasons for these attacks include:
- Outdated Software: Not keeping software and operating systems up-to-date with the latest security patches can leave systems vulnerable to exploitation.
- Weak Passwords: Using weak or easily guessable passwords can make it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems.
- Phishing Attacks: Malicious emails that trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments can be a primary entry point for ransomware.
- Lack of Backups: Not having regular, reliable backups can make it difficult to recover data after a ransomware attack.
