Ransomware is a form of malware that denies the victim access to their files by encrypting them. This form of malware then prompts the victim to pay a ransom to recover their data. Most ransomware spreads via email attachments and downloads from malicious websites. Ransomware started gaining notoriety back in 2013 with the release of CryptoLocker. Today new variants of ransomware still pose a serious threat to businesses.
