Ransomware
Ransomware is a form of cybercrime in which malware tracks computer activity. Victims generally aren’t aware of the attack until they try to access their data or receive a ransom request in the form of a pop-up window. Cybercriminals might use a phishing email to trick a potential victim into opening a link or attachment containing the ransomware. These may include email solicitations to support a fake COVID-19 charity.
