What Is Ransomware? How It Spreads and How to Stay Protected
Quick answer: Ransomware is malware that encrypts your files and demands payment to restore them. It usually spreads via fake email attachments, pirated software and exposed remote desktop. Paying is not a solution, there is no guarantee and it marks you as a repeat target. The strongest defense is an offline backup and fast response. Emergency: +90 536 662 38 09.
