Ransomware typically gets into a system through malicious emails, malicious websites, and infected software downloads. Malicious emails, also known as phishing emails, contain malicious attachments or links that, when clicked, download ransomware to the victim’s computer or network. Malicious websites, often created to look like legitimate websites, can also be used to download ransomware onto a victim’s computer or network. Infected software downloads may contain ransomware, which can be installed without the user’s knowledge. Additionally, ransomware can be spread by exploiting vulnerabilities in a system or network.
