Ransomware is nothing more than a malicious program (malware) designed to block access to files or in some cases to the operating system, with this the attacker manages to affect one of the three pillars of computer security, availability. Normally this type of attack blocks access through the encryption of files, whose encryption key only the attacker knows, this in turn, asks the victim for a certain amount of money (in cryptocurrency) to grant access to files again (encryption key).
