According to a new report, 7 in 10 Canadian companies hit by ransomware attacks paid the ransom. But as we've reported before, that doesn't often pay off. 

Scammers will use business keywords to try and trick unsuspecting employees into clicking on links connected to credential harvesting sites. Being informed can save you and your company in the long run. 

In addition to preventative measures, having a solid backup strategy for your important data can go a long way in combating ransomware. 

Ransomware can be tricky to deal with, but it doesn't have to be the end of your business.
