What to do
If your business was targeted by CRPx0 ransomware, check if your files were encrypted or if you received a ransom demand. CRPx0 often sends emails or uses phishing to trick employees into opening malicious files or links. If you suspect an attack, contact Fortra support or your IT team immediately.
If you were hit, do not pay the ransom. Instead, report the attack to Fortra or your IT security team. They can help recover your data and prevent further damage. For prevention, train employees to spot phishing emails and avoid opening unknown attachments or links. Keep backups of important files in a secure, offline location.
