Introduction to Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or data until a sum of money is paid.

How Ransomware Works

Ransomware typically encrypts the victim's files, making them inaccessible, and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key.

Protecting Against Ransomware

  • Keep your software up to date
  • Use strong, unique passwords
  • Be cautious of email attachments and links
