|Ransomware Defined
Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to infect a computer and restricts users' access to certain data, systems and/or files until a ransom is paid. Ransomware can come in many forms and iterations and like any other virus or infection, ransomware can evolve and transform to counter cyber-defenses and remediation. Ransomware victims can be individuals, public or private corporations, not-for-profit organizations and public agencies and governmental bodies. Although only a fraction of ransomware attacks are actually reported to federal authorities, the U.S. Department of Justice reports that over 4,000 ransomware attacks occur daily.
