Category: Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts or locks the files on a computer or network and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key or a way to unlock the files. It typically spreads through phishing emails, malicious links, or unpatched software vulnerabilities. Once the files are locked, victims are asked to pay a ransom to regain access to their own data. Ransomware attacks can cause significant financial and operational damage to businesses and individuals.
