need tips to protect data from Ransomware

Hi everyone!!!

I want to know the best strategies to protect your data from Malware-Ransomware attack! I follow below guidelines to protect my data(internal & extenal ): (for windows in my case)

1) installed good antivirus
2) take regular backup in usb hdd
3) change extensions names
4) Created system restore points
5) I maintain good free space in each drive so data wont overwrite in the case of malware attack

Also comment any :evil: strange way to protect data :evil: like i've heard that renaming file extension also protect ur data(Note: if Ransomware attack on mft or bootloaded then RIP )

Thanks in Advance

I think the best tip in this case is to pay attention on what you download from the internet.
It takes just a bit of responsibility :smile:

But, if you're always dealing with this type of software, than it's okay to do all that in my opinion.
Btw I didn't know that changing file extension can prevent attacks, nice thing.

Actually I want to know some manual tactics to protect data from any malware or ransomware attack without being software oriented! As I mentioned in this post that changing file extension also protect your data from Ransomware attack! another thing is encrypting boot loader may also help :wink:

It's way beyond the scope of this post to explain It.

Time permitted, I'll write a tutorial on one of my Windows-based blogs.
