How do ransomware hackers operate on a user’s system to encrypt files and demand payment?
Ransomware hackers typically gain access to a user’s system through various means such as phishing emails, malicious attachments, or compromised websites. Once they infiltrate the system, they use advanced encryption algorithms to lock the user’s files, making them inaccessible. They then demand payment, often in the form of cryptocurrency, in exchange for providing the decryption key to restore access to the files.
