## What is a Ransomware Canary?
|
|
|
|
If you're a computer user who's found a strange-looking file on your system guiding you to this page, you're in the right place! The file you found, which led you here, is called a ransomware canary.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
A ransomware canary is a security feature deployed by Huntress EDR that:
|
|
|
|
- Acts as an early warning system for ransomware attacks
|
|
- Monitors for unauthorized file encryption
|
|
- Alerts security teams to potential threats before widespread damage occurs
|
|
|
|
## What to Do
|
|
|
|
If you found this file on your computer, **do not delete it**. It's a protective measure put in place by your IT administrator.
