Why do some people choose to pay off cyber criminals in ransomware attacks instead of deleting all files and using backups?

Businesses can use Google Drive’s versioning features as a safeguard against ransomware by enabling the “Manage versions” option. By keeping this feature active, Google Drive automatically saves multiple versions of a file every time it is changed or updated.

If a file is affected by ransomware and encrypted, the previous unaltered versions can be easily restored from the version history. This allows businesses to retrieve clean copies of their files without having to pay a ransom to cyber attackers. Regularly backing up important files and maintaining version history can significantly reduce the impact of ransomware attacks on business data stored in Google Drive.
