What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software or malware that locks a device or encrypts data on it, preventing a user from accessing the device or data. The user is present then with a demand for ransom in exchange for unlocking the device or decrypting the data.
There are mainly two types of ransomware, targeting small business owners. One is Locker, which locks the device; and another is Crypto which encrypts the data on a device.
