Ransomware is a type of malware, or malicious software, which has exploded in notoriety in recent years.
The malware is often installed on your machine
via a phishing email or a drive-by-download on a compromised website,
and a short time later a pop-up message will appear on screen telling
the user to pay a ransom (in some cases as much as $300) in order to ‘unlock’ their stolen documents.
