Ransomware is typically installed on a computer through malicious emails, malicious downloads, or by taking advantage of unpatched software or operating systems. These emails are usually disguised as legitimate emails from a trusted source and contain either a malicious link or attachment. When clicked, the malicious code is installed that encrypts the user’s data and locks them out of their computer. It then requests payment in exchange for decrypting the user’s data.
