Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files, making them inaccessible, and demands a ransom paid in order to decrypt the files. There are 3 common types of ransomware:
1. Locker ransomware: This type of ransomware avoids victims from accessing their gadgets by locking the screen or system, making it impossible to utilize the gadget until the ransom is paid.
2. Crypto ransomware: This kind of ransomware encrypted victims' files, making them unattainable. In order to get the files back, victims must pay a ransom.
3. RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service): This kind of ransomware permits anybody to create and distribute their own ransomware. The individual who produces the ransomware will get a portion of the ransom, while the individual who distributes the ransomware will get the rest.
