At BTMS we always try to keep you updated for any important matters that might help or cause trouble in your everyday business. This time we came across a very dangerous virus. Malware software (ransomware to be precise) known by the name Cryptolocker.

As you may have heard or read in the news there is a new and very dangerous virus that has appeared recently in Cyprus. A lot of companies suffered big time because of it. Recently one of our customers suffered too.

What it does? It locks (encrypts) your data and asks for ransom money to be paid on a given period of time in order to unlock them for you. It also threatens to delete those files if demands are not met.

If all the above sound scary, and honestly they should, BTMS has a solution that will protect you in case you eventually get affected by CryptoLocker or any similar malware and ransomware software in the future. We recommend the use of an online backup solution we found and tested. 

Please contact us the soonest possible for further information regarding pricing and how you can proceed.

PS. BTMS has installed a free backup module during the initial setup of our software but holds no responsibility whatsoever if you do not perform occasional backups of your data. This is solely your responsibility.

PS2. With the use of the suggested service you can not only back up BTMS data but also any other important data or files you would like to keep safe.
