ESET: The survey, which took place at infosecurity Europe in June of 2015 in a sample of 200 security professionals IT, also revealed that 84 percent of respondents believe their company will be seriously injured in case of ransomware infection. 
However, 31 percent of respondents admitted that if they were infected with ransomware they would have no choice but to pay the ransom because they would otherwise lose all the data on their computer.
O Mark James, ESET security expert, commenting on research findings, notes: "ransomware is one of the most terrible things malware due to its destructive power.
The Results of research are very worrying as it seems that security professionals still do not understand how to properly manage it ransomware.
The biggest problem in all infections ransomware is the decision on how to deal with the attack. Our choices are limited: either we pay for the ransom, which is certainly not recommended, or we are restoring backup, however, depending on how often it is done back up of files, this can also mean loss of data. "
Το ransomware μπορεί να συγκαταλεχθεί μεταξύ των πιο τρομακτικών μορφών εισβολής ενός υπολογιστή. Η επίθεση περιλαμβάνει την αντικατάσταση της οθόνη του υπολογιστή από ένα μήνυμα που φαίνεται να έχει σταλθεί από την αστυνομία, απαιτώντας money, ή ένα μήνυμα που λέει ότι τα αρχεία έχουν χαθεί, εκτός αν καταβληθούν λύτρα οπότε θα ξεκλειδωθούν.
The last year cyber criminals have developed a number of new variants ransomware which have allowed hackers to encrypt their victims' data, which has forced more people to pay the ransom.
"If you are infected and all your files are encrypted then you have only one option, you should proceed with recovery from backup. With the huge amount of solutions available today backup it is really very cheap and can literally save your business.
Every company that pays the ransom finances criminals, and if for hackers it ransomware prove to be profitable, they will make more effort to create even more sophisticated variants, which will be more and more difficult to combat, "he concluded. James.
