You may have heard in the media about an impending risk of a powerful computer attack warning
from the UK’s National Crime Agency.

The threat comprises of two individual malware programs “Game Over ZeuS (GOZeus)” and “Cryptolocker”. Both of these once installed on your PC will steal
data (GOZeus) and in the case of Cryptolocker will encrypt your data and then hold it to ransom.

Although we do not wish to alarm our clients we feel that we should inform you of some simple precautions in order to help protect both your systems and data:

• Never open emails or attachments which you may have received from people or organisations you do not know, or that you are suspicious of.
• Where ever possible do not store passwords in your web browser(s) or for programs that access financial information (Banking Software).
• Make sure that any personal information or data that you have on your PC is being backed up (never assume that your holiday snaps are being automatically being backed up because they are on your work PC).
• If you see the following screenshot, power of your PC immediately either by pressing in the power button or by switching off or disconnecting at the mains and contact Attainable Business Solutions as soon as possible.
