ransomwares

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts or blocks access to your computer files or system, making them unusable. The cybercriminals behind it then demand a ransom—usually money—to provide a decryption key or restore access. It often spreads through phishing emails, malicious links, or infected software. Ransomware can affect individuals, businesses, or organizations, leading to data loss, financial harm, and operational disruption. Preventing it involves using strong security practices, such as backing up data regularly, updating software, and being cautious with unexpected links or attachments.
