The first line of defence against ransomware is: preparedness, here's four more resources

Only this week, a ransomware attack engulfed Europe, and to make matters worse, the email address of the hackers was blocked, so victims were unable to contact the criminals if they chose to pay the ransom to unlock their encrypted data.
