What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a specific and extremely harmful type of malware used by cybercriminals to extort money from individuals, organizations, and businesses. The infections block access to your data until you make a ransom payment, at which point you’re supposed to regain access.
In reality, nearly 40% of the victims who pay the ransom never get their data back and 73% of those that pay are targeted again later – which is why everyone must protect against ransomware.
Ransomware’s Connection to Cryptojacking
Cybercriminals are infecting Windows and Linux machines with malware that hijacks computing resources to mine cryptocurrencies without the user’s knowledge. Cryptojacking not only slows computer performance, increases energy costs, and damages hardware, the infection usually injects ransomware to maximize the malware’s profitability.
