What is Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malware for data kidnapping, an exploit in which the attacker encrypts the victim's data and demands payment for the decryption key.
Ransomware spreads through e-mail attachments, infected programs and compromised websites. A ransomware malware program may also known as cryptovirus, cryptotrojan or cryptoworm.
Attackers may use one of several different approaches to extort money from their victims:
After a victim discovers he cannot open a file, he receives an email ransom note demanding a relatively small amount of money in exchange for a private key. The attacker warns that if the ransom is not paid by a certain date, the private key will be destroyed and the data will be lost forever.
