What Does Ransomware Mean?
Ransomware is a type of malware programming that infects, locks or takes control of a system. The attacker then requests a financial payment to undo the malicious action.
Techopedia Explains Ransomware
Ransomware attacks can severely impact businesses and leave hospitals and municipalities without the data they need to operate and deliver mission-critical services. According to the FBI, ransomware incidents continue to rise in 2021, but their financial impact is still dwarfed by cyberattacks that focus on business email compromise (BEC) and email account attacks.
