Ransomware can spread quickly in a network by exploiting vulnerabilities in software, using malicious links in phishing emails, and by taking advantage of weak passwords. It can also spread through shared drives and file servers, as well as by being embedded in infected software downloads. Once installed on a system, ransomware can spread to other computers on the network, encrypting data and demanding a ransom payment to restore access.
