• Your computer has been locked. The only way to
  get access back to your machine is to pay this
  amount
• Trust me, no one in this whole world would want
  to go through this. Unfortunately enough, the
  culprit of posting the question-Ransomware has
  been on a steady rise ever since the inception of
  UKs Smiley in early 2017. This particular
  spyware locks up your system and holds it for a
  ransom ware. Sayi8ng that this is only a little
  bit underhanded would be a colossal
  understatement. In an era where situational
  cybercrime can also be considered as a capital
  offense, the gall of these hackers is honestly, a
  bit admirable and scary. This begs a question,
  how do Cybercriminals get access to the
  personalized systems?

• Norton Support Ireland discusses about ransomware
  and how it is implemented?
• Ironically enough, this complicated piece of
  software is implemented through the simplest of
  means Social engineering. These social
  engineering tricks include phony emails that
  somehow compel the users to give away their
  personal credentials. Most of these messages hide
  under the guide of law-enforcement agencies. Once
  read, they attach a worm to our system that
  eventually locks down your system the moment you
  shut it down. These worms more often than not
  happen to be a bit extra stealthy. As a
  consequence, tracking them down becomes a trying
  experience. Fortunately, Norton Antivirus has its
  own set of rules to tackle this situation.

• Tips for ransomware prevention
• 1. Keep your virus definitions active and
  updated every day, there are around 10000 new
  variants of new malware generated. To that end,
  the only way to be safe is be vigilant regarding
  your antivirus application. Make sure that you
  update your antivirus software on practically a
  daily basis. Not updating your virus definition

  dry for the viruses to feed on its

• 2. Make sure other applications too are full
  upgraded Antivirus aside, several third party
  applications have decided to implement security
  measures to their updates too. It would be wise
  to follow through these updates and upgrade your
  software whenever asked for. If you do this, you
  would finally realize the relevancy of those
  Adobe acrobat updates that you never actually
  understood.
• 3. Prevent opening fraudulent emails Easier said
  than done, fraudulent emails have become a lot
  stealthier in their approach. No more there is a
  Nigerian prince waiting for your account number
  so as to put in millions of dollars in your
  account. The ransomware emails now have taken the
  guise of law enforcements, insurance companies
  and others. The latter two you can deal with as
  for the former sender, you would have to extra
  careful in attending those.
