4 Signs you are under attack from Ransomware
A ransomware attack is one of the most terrifying things that can happen to your business. This is a computer attack where a hacker locks you out of your systems and data.
And you must pay a ransom, typically in Bitcoin, to get access again. What most people don’t realise is that hackers access your system weeks before they launch the attack.
It takes time for them to set it up, and prevent IT security experts from helping. So there are signs to look out for – ways to spot if your system has already been breached, and an attack is imminent.
Download our brand new guide and know how to keep your business safe. Cybercriminals take control of your files, photographs, and any other data that’s important to you. They encrypt it and deny you access until you’ve paid a ransom of their choosing.
You’ll know quite clearly if you’ve got ransomware. You’ll be locked out of your computers. And there’ll be a message on your screens telling you to pay a “fine” or the crime gets worse.
We’ve put together a brand new guide to show you all about Ransomware, our goal is to educate and help keep you safe.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
