A ransomware attack is one of the effective strategies cybercriminals use to encrypt users’ data and prevent them from accessing it until a ransom amount is paid. While the rate of ransomware attacks is less than other malware types, including viruses and trojans, it can have severe consequences on businesses and individuals alike. Ransomware attacks have been on the rise since 2018, reaching their highest at 68.5% in 2021.
