@root.visual50: ransomware doesn't just lock your files. it steals them first. Sophos Active Adversary Report 2025 found data exfiltration confirmed in approximately 43% of investigated ransomware cases — meaning even if you restore from backup, your data is already on their server. according to Sophos State of Ransomware 2024: the average ransom payment was $2M in 2024 — 5x higher than 2023. average recovery cost (excluding the ransom) reached $2.73M. 59% of organizations were hit by ransomware. 56% of organizations with encrypted data paid the ransom. the only real protection is prevention + an offline backup. the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 storage types, 1 disconnected from the network. ransomware can encrypt everything connected. it cannot reach a disconnected drive. save this. create an offline backup this weekend. #datasecurity #digitalsafety #cybersecurity
