NANJING, China, June 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trend Micro (TYO:4704) announces the development of a decryption tool that helps Mac users access encrypted files infected by MacRansom. This newly discovered ransomware, targeting on macOS, encrypts or prevents access to victim's files, thereby causing real damage. Now, the decryption tool is available. This protection is part of the Trend Micro Antivirus product, which also helps to prevent Mac users from browsing phishing websites to guarantee their information security.
“In the catastrophe of ransomware, there is no exception for neither Mac OS nor Windows,” warns Jian Rong, Senior Manager of Dr. Mac, “Even worse, many less-technical people are using Mac OS and iOS which make it a ‘richer’ target for further threats. We suggest that users back up their files regularly, apply the latest updates for OS, and stay away from phishing websites to guarantee their cyber security. This is where Trend Micro Antivirus excels.”
