L<\/span> e mois dernier, un ami a perdu dix ann\u00e9es de photos de famille. Pas \u00e0 cause d\u2019un disque dur d\u00e9fectueux. Pas parce qu\u2019il les avait supprim\u00e9es par erreur.<\/p>\n

Un ransomware a chiffr\u00e9 chaque fichier de son ordinateur et a exig\u00e9 500 $ pour les d\u00e9verrouiller. Il a pay\u00e9. Les criminels ont pris son argent. Il n\u2019a jamais r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9 ses photos.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s plus de huit ann\u00e9es pass\u00e9es \u00e0 analyser des attaques par ransomware et \u00e0 interviewer des dizaines de victimes ainsi que des experts en cybers\u00e9curit\u00e9, j\u2019ai constat\u00e9 personnellement les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts caus\u00e9s. Il ne s\u2019agit plus seulement des grandes entreprises \u2014 ce sont d\u00e9sormais vos documents personnels, vos souvenirs et le travail de toute une vie qui peuvent \u00eatre pris en otage.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

Ce que fait r\u00e9ellement un ransomware \u2014 et pourquoi il est si d\u00e9vastateur<\/h2>\n \n

Le ransomware ne fonctionne pas comme les autres logiciels malveillants. Il ne vole pas vos donn\u00e9es et n\u2019utilise pas votre ordinateur pour miner des cryptomonnaies. Il prend vos fichiers en otage. Une fois install\u00e9 sur votre syst\u00e8me, il analyse vos documents, photos, vid\u00e9os, d\u00e9clarations fiscales et autres fichiers personnels, puis les chiffre \u2014 les rendant totalement illisibles.<\/p>\n \n

Un message s\u2019affiche ensuite : payez en cryptomonnaie sous 72 heures, sinon vos fichiers seront perdus \u00e0 jamais. Les demandes de ran\u00e7on ont explos\u00e9 \u2014 de 500 $ pour les particuliers \u00e0 plusieurs millions pour les h\u00f4pitaux et les \u00e9tablissements scolaires.<\/p>\n \n

\u00ab Les op\u00e9rateurs de ransomware utilisent d\u00e9sormais une double extorsion : ils volent les donn\u00e9es avant de les chiffrer, puis menacent de les publier en ligne si la victime ne paie pas. \u00bb<\/p>\n \u2014 Avertissement de la division cyber du FBI<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

How ransomware gets into your computer<\/h2>\n \n

Most people think they'd never fall for a ransomware attack. But the entry points are subtle and increasingly sophisticated:<\/p>\n \n

\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n

Phishing emails<\/h3>\n

Fake invoices, shipping notifications, or security alerts with malicious attachments or links. One click and you're infected.<\/p>\n

Most Common (54%)<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n

Malicious ads<\/h3>\n

Legitimate websites with compromised ads can infect your computer without any clicks \u2014 drive-by downloads.<\/p>\n

Silent Threat<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n

Fake software updates<\/h3>\n

Pop-ups claiming your Flash, Java, or browser needs updating. Download the \"update\" and you download ransomware.<\/p>\n

Deceptive<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n

Remote desktop vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n

Open RDP ports on your computer can be brute-forced. Once inside, ransomware spreads instantly.<\/p>\n

Enterprise Risk<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n
