The Covid pandemic hit global economies hard in 2020, including the criminal underground—and malware detections fell appreciably. A year later, as coronavirus restrictions were eased around the world, malware roared back into our lives at record levels. Malware’s “Covid bounce” was visible everywhere, in detections for almost all types of malicious or unwanted software, on Windows and on Macs.
The mounting cost of complexity and technical debt was increasingly evident. From Google Chrome’s 18 zero-days to December’s big reveal that everything, everywhere could be put at risk by an unsung logging library, the lesson of 2021 was that while better patching is vitally important, we will not patch our way to security.
However, 2021 is most likely to be remembered as the year that ransomware was discussed by presidents and hunted by the military. The ransomware epidemic isn’t over, and it may not even have peaked, but the threat it poses to businesses, supply-chains and critical infrastructure is no longer in doubt, and the forces arrayed against it have never been so formidable.

Being hands-on in the industry, we get a realistic look into what is really going on in the realm of cybersecurity. So far this year, we have had an exponential number of computers that we have looked at that have been held to ransom by malware. This is the most secure & vicious way a scammer can attempt to manipulate you into giving away your own money in the hope that the scammer will give you back access to your computer (which is almost never given back). Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, the encryptions can be too complex to decrypt externally. To unencrypt a device with a 256-bit key, in theory would be expected to take 3.46x10^5 years for the fastest known supercomputer in 2019.
So, you need something that will actively protect you from the attack in the first place. Don't have regrets for when the ransomware attack inevitably hits you. Fortunately, Malwarebytes have developed brilliant Endpoint Detection & Response software. It is the undisputed best anti-ransomware software to protect you from current & future threats.

Malwarebytes is a high level cyber security solution that is intuitive to operate & extremely effective at protecting your computing devices. Malwarebytes specialises in targeting, removing & protecting from an array of common cyber security attacks including:
Viruses
A computer virus requires a host program, and it needs to be initiated by an unsuspecting user. Triggering a virus can be as simple as opening a malicious email attachment (malspam), launching an infected program, or viewing an ad on a malicious site (adware). Once that happens, the virus tries to spread to other systems on the computer's network or in the user's list of contacts.
Ransomware
Ransom malware, or ransomware, is a type of malware that prevents users from accessing their system or personal files and demands ransom payment in order to regain access. While some people might think "a virus locked my computer," ransomware would typically be classified as a different form of malware than a virus.
Malware
Malware, or “malicious software,” is an umbrella term that describes any malicious program or code that is harmful to systems. Hostile, intrusive, and intentionally nasty, malware seeks to invade, damage, or disable computers, computer systems, networks, tablets, and mobile devices, often by taking partial control over a device’s operations. Like the human flu, it interferes with normal functioning.
Phishing
Phishing is an attack in which the threat actor poses as a trusted person or organization to trick potential victims into sharing sensitive information or sending them money. As with real fishing, there's more than one way to reel in a victim: Email phishing, smishing, and vishing are three common types.
Adware
Adware is unwanted software designed to throw advertisements up on your screen, most often within a web browser. Some security professionals view it as the forerunner of the modern-day PUP. Typically, it uses an underhanded method to either disguise itself as legitimate, or piggyback on another program to trick you into installing it on your PC, tablet, or mobile device.
Spyware
Spyware. Although it sounds like a James Bond gadget, it’s actually a type of malware that infects your PC or mobile device and gathers information about you, including the sites you visit, the things you download, your usernames and passwords, payment information, and the emails you send and receive.
