What is ransomware?
Ransomware is a common and dangerous type of malware. It works by locking up or encrypting your files so you can no longer access them.
A ransom, usually in the form of cryptocurrency, is demanded to restore access to the files. Cybercriminals might also demand a ransom to prevent data and intellectual property from being leaked or sold online.
