Description

Ransomware attacks block access to data or entire systems by encrypting files and demanding payment in cryptocurrency for decryption. Attackers spread ransomware through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. Prevention strategies include regular data backups, software updates, and endpoint protection tools. Organizations should never pay ransoms, as this encourages further attacks.
