Ransomware is malicious software that hackers use to gain access to a computer, mobile device, or server, and then encrypt its content so that the user cannot access it. The hacker will then demand a ransom from the user in order to unlock the encrypted data. Ransomware is often spread through phishing emails, malicious websites, or infected file downloads.
