Es un tipo de malware que se inserta en la computadora de la v\u00edctima sin su conocimiento. A diferencia del malware que roba informaci\u00f3n (n\u00fameros de tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito, claves de acceso, etc.) sin que el afectado se d\u00e9 cuenta, el ransomware no oculta sus intenciones de pedir un rescate en dinero. El pago se exige en bitcoins, una moneda virtual que dificulta su rastreo. Lo que m\u00e1s asusta de estos ataques es que pagar el rescate no garantiza la devoluci\u00f3n de la informaci\u00f3n. Saber qui\u00e9nes son y desde donde operan estos delincuentes cibern\u00e9ticos es dif\u00edcil, pero no imposible. Sin embargo averiguarlo conlleva muchos recursos y tiempo, y el tiempo es lo que no tiene la v\u00edctima de un secuestrador de datos, ya que generalmente estos dan plazos fatales al termino de los cuales la informaci\u00f3n es borrada.<\/p>\n
\u00abLas estad\u00edsticas de la industria inform\u00e1tica indican que los ataques con ransomware crecieron en un 35% en el a\u00f1o 2015\u00bb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Las estad\u00edsticas <\/strong>de la industria inform\u00e1tica<\/strong><\/p>\nindican que los ataques con ransomware<\/strong> crecieron en un 35% en el a\u00f1o 2015. De igual manera las t\u00e1cticas de los delincuentes se han sofisticado y han logrado nuevas formas para llegar a sus v\u00edctimas. Todos estamos en riesgo para un ataque de este tipo: grandes corporaciones, empresas peque\u00f1as, freelancers. Los datos de cualquiera de nosotros pueden ser secuestrados.<\/p>\nDe manera general un ataque ocurre despu\u00e9s de haber\u00a0 expuesto nuestro sistema al phishing<\/strong>, ingenier\u00eda social o al malvertising<\/em>. Esta \u00faltima es una palabra compuesta a partir de malware y advertising. En muchos casos el ransomware<\/strong> se introduce en los servidores atacados a partir de un anuncio aparentemente leg\u00edtimo en un sitio oficial. En otros a trav\u00e9s de un llamado a acci\u00f3n o al clickear un link; en ocasiones con s\u00f3lo navegar en un sitio sospechoso puede quedar comprometida nuestra seguridad. El ransomware<\/strong> se instala en el sistema y al concluir el proceso s\u00f3lo es cuesti\u00f3n de poco tiempo hasta que aparezca el anuncio fat\u00eddico.<\/p>\nEn principio se piensa que ante un ataque s\u00f3lo hay dos opciones: pagar el rescate o tratar de recuperar los archivos sin pagar. Ambas implican un alto nivel de riesgo. Una de las causas que ha convertido a esta actividad criminal en algo tan rentable es la importancia que tiene la informaci\u00f3n digital en esta era. Seg\u00fan las agencias encargadas de hacer cumplir la ley, secuestrar informaci\u00f3n es la forma m\u00e1s com\u00fan de extorsi\u00f3n utilizada actualmente. En 2012 se ha estimado que un 2.9% de las v\u00edctimas pagaron rescate. Ese porcentaje aument\u00f3 a un 40% en 2014 seg\u00fan un estudio de la Universidad de Kent.<\/p>\n
El panorama parece sombr\u00edo y lo es, por suerte existen soluciones que previenen la perdida de informaci\u00f3n \u00a0y todas incluyen estar alertas y prevenidos porque realmente no sabemos si ma\u00f1ana la v\u00edctima seremos nosotros.<\/p>\n
