What are the different types of ransomware?

There are several types of ransomware, including crypto-ransomware, locker ransomware, and scareware. Would you like to know more about each type?

Yes, please explain crypto-ransomware.

Crypto-ransomware encrypts files on the victim's system, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. It's one of the most common types.

What about locker ransomware?

Locker ransomware locks users out of their devices or systems, preventing access to files and applications, but it doesn't encrypt files.

How can I protect myself from ransomware?

To protect yourself, regularly back up your data, use antivirus software, and avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments.
