Does ransomware lock access to entire systems, just specific files, or both? How does it achieve this?
What is Ransomware? Is it a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their system, either by locking the system’s screen or by locking the users’ files, unless a ransom is paid?

Ransomware typically locks access to specific files or encrypts them, rather than entire systems. This is done by using advanced encryption algorithms to prevent users from accessing their files without paying a ransom to obtain the decryption key.
