This is what ransomeware looks like !
Ransomware is a type of malware from cryptovirology that threatens to publish the victim's personal data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid.
In response to the increase in cybercrimes and ransomware attacks across the region, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) launched a regional campaign called RansomAware that focuses on localizing and raising awareness on ransomware and prevention tactics among Southeast Asian organizational leaders and the general public. To conclude the campaign, UNODC organized a press release on 4 March 2022 from (GMT+7 Bangkok) 13:00 PM - 16:30 PM at Alliance Française Bangkok.
UNODC promotes long-term and sustainable capacity building in the fight against cybercrime through supporting national structures and action. Specifically, UNODC draws upon its specialized expertise on criminal justice systems response to provide technical assistance in capacity building, prevention and awareness raising, international cooperation, and data collection, research and analysis on cybercrime.
