How to change passwords after a ransomware attack?

After a ransomware attack, changing passwords securely is crucial to prevent further unauthorized access. Here are steps to securely change passwords:

1. Isolate Infected Systems: First, disconnect infected devices from the network to contain the spread of ransomware.

2. Remove Ransomware: Use antivirus tools to scan and remove any ransomware from the affected systems before changing passwords.

3. Change Passwords: Login to unaffected devices or systems, and change passwords for all accounts, including email, banking, and social media.

4. Use Strong Passwords: When creating new passwords, ensure they are strong, unique, and not easily guessable. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords.

5. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of security by enabling 2FA wherever possible to protect accounts even if passwords are compromised.

6. Monitor Accounts: Regularly monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity even after changing passwords to prevent further security breaches.
