What if the computer is hacked?

If your computer at work or at home is hacked, the hacker may encrypt the data on your computer or implant a Trojan horse.

In addition, ransomware will be installed. Only by paying a ransom to the hacker can the data be recovered. Many people will choose to pay ransom to hackers because they can't wait for data recovery and want to recover their data as soon as possible.

As a professional, I tell you never to do this. You should call the police immediately.

Because according to a foreign report, more than half of the victims will become the targets of hackers again.

About 80% people will make a second attack after paying the ransom, because these hackers will think that you are afraid to call the police, and he has mastered the loopholes in your computer, so it will be easier to invade again.

Even if you pay the ransom and restore access to the data on your computer, there will be various problems. 46% of people will find that the data is corrupted and cannot be accessed at all.

The harm after hacking?

Because after hackers invade your computer, they will encrypt your important data, making it impossible for you to access it, but it is easy to destroy the data during the encryption process, and another is to completely delete your data. In this case, even if you pay the ransom, the data cannot be recovered.

To sum up, the best way is to protect your computer, prevent hackers from invading, install necessary anti-virus software, check and kill viruses regularly, and clean up your computer regularly. You should actively safeguard your basic rights, strengthen people's safety awareness and prevent hackers from invading.
