Cybercriminals employ ransomware as a kind of malware (malicious software). When a computer or network is infected with ransomware, the ransomware prevents users from accessing the system and encrypts their data. Cybercriminals hold their victims' data hostage in exchange for ransom money. A vigilant eye and security software are recommended for protection against ransomware infection. Following an infection, victims of malware assaults have three options: they may pay the ransom, attempt to delete the software, or restart the device.
