Ransomware Recovery Investigation (FAQs)
The term ransomware refers to a sort of harmful software (malware). When it enters a device, malware renders a computer or its files inoperable. Ransomware is used by cybercriminals to prevent victims from accessing their files or devices. Cybercriminals may demand payment in exchange for returning data.
