From the various report, it is now clear that no one is prone to Ransomware attacks. Cyber-criminals never target any specific field of the user workgroup for this Ransomware attack. But in past few years, it has hugely affected home users, businesses, organizations.
We can say, Ransomware victims come in all shapes & sizes. Many business owners think that they will never be attacked by Ransomware crooks because their business is not so big. But that’s not true.
A huge proportion of Ransomware attacks happened in small sector businesses because of their weak security resistances.
Ransomware put a tremendous impact on disturbing business operations and in the end, leads to data loss situations.
Apart from the ransom, the cost of downtime because of restricted system access will bring major concerns.
It’s a fact that due to downtime victims may has to pay a cost of ten thousand dollars daily.
As, Ransomware is becoming more and more widespread, so all companies require to brush up on their annual cyber-security goals. Moreover, approach for some appropriate implementations of Ransomware recovery plans and commit sufficient funds in their IT budgets for cyber-security resources.
Among the most effective impact of Ransomware, “data encryption” is very hard to deal with.
Meanwhile, this victim is completely restricted to access any of their encrypted data.
The only way for unlocking these encrypted files is through the decryption key which only belongs to hackers.
Many times, the decryption key is given to the organization, after the payment of the ransom. But there are also some cases when data is not handover to the victim, even after the ransom payment.
The main risk that generates with “operational impact of Ransomware” is on the businesses. Can you just imagine, what will happen if all of a sudden entire services or processes of your business halt down?
All the damages that occur due to downtime can be a major one and can have so many consequences.
A well-organized strategy of backup and recovery will not certainly make the Ransomware attack painless.
As this takes an extensive amount of money and time for data restoration.
However, in many cases, data gets so encrypted that you can’t revert back to the restore point. At that time external backup is considered the best option.
Among the wide-reaching impact of Ransomware “Data loss” is the most effective one. As it starts from little disruption and leads to permanent business failure.
Sometimes data loss in a Ransomware attack leads to disclosure of all your confidential information which ends up in fines and lawsuits.
Attackers always look for backup files and folders after encrypting your system data. So that user can’t retrieve their corrupted file from the backup. Such dreadful activities make this Ransomware threat so profitable and effective.
Victims don’t have any choice left either they have to pay the ransom or they have to face their risk of data loss.

-file "C:/Users/Ayush/Desktop/Powershell Script Sample.ps1"Step 8: Once done, click on OK to save the changes made and see if the task is still giving you an error or not.

And for you to delete a corrupted task or any task from the Task Scheduler, you have to use the Registry Editor if you are not able to use the Task Scheduler interface. To do so, follow these steps:
Microsoft Designer, a new application developed by Microsoft will bring design backed with DALL-E 2, an AI image creation open-source software. The new app is shown as a dedicated graphic design tool that will help you in the creation of stunning social media posts, invitations, digital postcards, graphics, and more, all in a flash.
Use of the application will be by typing headings and then typing text into the prompt to generate a background image. Since Microsoft uses DALL-E 2 for image creation output should be fairly good but if you wish you will be able to use your own images instead of using AI to generate one.
The designer will be a free application once it is ready and it already has a web preview version, also free but with a waitlist. There will be premium features inside the app once it is released that will be available to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers. Microsoft also wants to add a version of a designer directly to the Edge browser as well.
