  Ransomware attack A ransomware attack is a malicious cyber incident where attackers use specialized software to encrypt files or block access to a computer system. This encryption renders the victim's data inaccessible until a ransom is paid to the attackers. Typically, the ransom demand is made in cryptocurrency to make it harder to trace.
