Ransomware in the Wild
By Atlantic.Net
Ransomware is an increasingly common type of malware that infects vulnerable computers, potentially infiltrating any computer operating systems and encrypting the user’s files.

Because of this, it is very difficult to accurately report on how many individuals are affected and how many victims pay the ransom.
