Yes, ransomware is classified as a type of malware. Ransomware is a specific type of malicious software that encrypts a victim’s files or locks their device, demanding a ransom in exchange for access to the files or device. Unlike other types of malware that may steal information or disrupt system functions, ransomware specifically focuses on extorting money from victims by holding their data hostage.
