What should an individual or business do immediately after being attacked by ransomware?
Disconnect the affected device from the network to prevent the ransomware from spreading further. Contact IT or cybersecurity professionals to assess the situation and determine the best course of action, such as restoring from backups if available, or seeking assistance from authorities if necessary. It’s important not to pay the ransom without exploring other options as there is no guarantee that the data will be restored after payment.
