Hackers are an adaptive and creative group of individuals who manipulate technological vulnerabilities in an attempt to gain access to personal information and more. Because they are so adaptive, it is absolutely essential that PC owners utilize a thorough and reliable antivirus software. Recently, a new breed of malware, a type of virus, has emerged. This malware infects computers through the use of websites or infected files, and assumes complete control over a system, demanding that users pay a fee to regain the use of their PCs. Dubbed “ransomware,” the folks at thehackernews.com report that this specific type of malware is especially vicious and difficult to get rid of. Ransomware has become increasingly widespread, with outbreaks noted across multiple continents.
