Ransomware: A growing threat

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim’s files and demands a ransom payment in order to decrypt them. Ransomware attacks have been on the rise in recent years, and they can have a devastating impact on businesses and individuals. There are a number of ways that ransomware can be spread. One common method is through phishing emails. In a phishing email, the attacker will send an email that appears to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a credit card company.
