About Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks are escalating exponentially year after year. More people are looking into how to remove ransomware, and many turn to free ransomware removal software like Avast ransomware removal or the ransomware removal tool Kaspersky to realize they need more help. This type of malware is highly complex as it encrypts your data, blocking access to your system, and interrupting your operations. The encrypted data can only be recovered using the decryption key. A Ransomware is triggered by many means, mainly through a malicious file or link in an email, a RDP attack, a brute force intrusion. Once it encrypts the data, a ransom note is displayed demanding a payment (commonly in bitcoin). Thus, the payment of ransomware is required to have access to the key that allows to decrypt the data that´s been encrypted.
