What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts data on a computer or network into an unreadable format until a sum of money, or ransom, is paid.
How Does Ransomware work?
When run, ransomware will scan the file storage disk for files to encrypt—typically
documents, spreadsheets, etc. The files are encrypted with a key that only the attackers
know, thus preventing your access to the files. Then, threat actors hold your files hostage,
demanding a ransom to be paid for you to get your access back.
