Ransomware attacks encrypt and lock a victim’s data and files, requiring payment to unlock or decrypt them.
An attack like this uses human, system, network, and software vulnerabilities to infect the victim’s devices-whether it’s a computer, printer, smartphone, wearable, point-of-sale (POS) terminal, etc. Ransomware is an industry, and big business. The end goal of every ransomware organization is to make a profit.
