Can ransomware infect Linux and BSD systems, and are these platforms more secure against such attacks?
Ransomware can indeed infect Linux and BSD systems. While these operating systems are generally considered more secure than Windows due to their architecture and user base, they are not immune to ransomware attacks. Linux and BSD systems can still be vulnerable to security breaches if not properly configured, updated, or if users fall victim to social engineering tactics. It is essential to implement security best practices, regular updates, and security audits to protect all systems from ransomware attacks.
