Explanation
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts user data and demands a ransom for its decryption.
Ransomware can prevent users from accessing their files and applications, and cause data loss or corruption. A proper backup implementation is essential to recover from a ransomware attack, as it can help restore the encrypted data without paying the ransom or relying on the attackers' decryption key.
