What would happen if I copy a PDF infected file by a ransomware virus?

When a ransomware-infected PDF file is copied to another device, the ransomware can potentially spread to the new device if the file is opened or executed on the new device. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files on a computer, making them inaccessible to the user. If the infected PDF file is opened on the new device, the ransomware may activate and start encrypting files on that device, further spreading the infection. It is important to always be cautious when dealing with unknown or suspicious files, especially those that may be infected with ransomware. Regularly updating antivirus software and being vigilant about what files are being transferred between devices can help prevent the spread of ransomware infections.
