company like Norton or Microsoft and that you have a virus. The main

motive behind these scams is to extort money from the victim.

Cybercriminals can also install malware such as keylogging software

or backdoor Trojans in order to gain access to personal information.

How to stay safe: Don't fall for phone calls that tell you your software

or computer isn't working. Never give your personal information like

social security or credit card numbers to someone that you don't know

Common threats cybercriminals use

Now you know a few very common ways cybercriminals try to sneak

computer while performing the backup. Ransomware has been known

to lock access to external hard drives attached to the computer.

ransom. There is no guarantee the cybercriminal will unlock your files

and you'll be funding them to prey upon another innocent victim.

Botnets

A botnet is a string of infected, connected computers coordinated

together to perform a task. Botnets gain access to your machine

through some piece of malicious coding. Once the software is

downloaded, the botnet will now contact its master computer and let it

know that everything is ready to go. Now your computer, phone,
