How do ransomware attacks typically occur, and what vulnerabilities do they exploit?
Ransomware attacks typically occur through social engineering techniques, such as phishing emails or deceptive websites, where unsuspecting users are tricked into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected files. Once the ransomware gains access to a system, it exploits vulnerabilities in outdated software, unpatched systems, weak network security, or lack of proper cybersecurity measures to encrypt the victim’s data and demand a ransom for its release.
