Can ransomware access and read emails stored on infected systems?
Yes, in some cases ransomware can access and read emails stored on infected systems. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that can encrypt files on a victim’s computer and potentially exfiltrate sensitive information, including emails. It is important to take proactive measures to prevent ransomware attacks, such as maintaining up-to-date antivirus software, avoiding suspicious email attachments or links, and regularly backing up important data.
