Ransomware
A type of malware designed to prevent a device owner from accessing their own data, with the hope of extracting a “ransom” in exchange for the promise of allowing access to it once again. It is deployed to lock data by encrypting it with a key unknown to the device owner, so that the attacker can ask for a ransom payment to unlock that data. These attacks may target a home computer or corporations.
