What Is Ransomware?

• Ransomware is malicious software that takes over your computer and prevents you from accessing your files unless you pay a ransom.
• One of the most common methods scammers use to infect your computer with ransomware are phishing emails. You click on a bad link and the software downloads.
• Government agencies and medical facilities are some of the most highly sought after organizations to infect with ransomware because those industries need access to their files immediately.
