Home | The No More Ransom Project

Ransomware is malware that locks your computer and mobile devices or encrypts your electronic files. When this happens, you can’t get to the data unless you pay a ransom. However this is not guaranteed and you should never pay!

The No More Ransom Project

⚠️ While ransomware has been around for 30 years, the number, scope & severity of attacks keep growing.

🌐 But international cooperation between law enforcement & industry has become stronger & more efficient in tackling this threat.

👉 One example: #NoMoreRansom.
