One thought on “U.S. takes new aim at ransomware after costly year for attacks

  1. 1) Keep your machine(s) backed up – and not once a month or once a week.
    .
    2) Keep your version of Windows current (not 3 years old like so many businesses).
    .
    3) Install Avast. When WannaCry went through four years ago (come May 12), Avast machines were left unscathed.
