How does ransomware work?..

Answer / Suraj Tiwari

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts the victim's files and demands a ransom to decrypt them. The attacker gains access to the system either by exploiting vulnerabilities, phishing, or social engineering techniques. Once inside, the ransomware encrypts the files and displays a message demanding payment in exchange for the decryption key.
