What is virus ransom?

Is a malicious program that affects smartphones and computers, encrypts and locks their data so that it can not be accessed until after payment is made.

How can a ransom virus penetrate you?

2. The sender is tempted by the victim to download the file through his or her deceit as an important or personal file.

3. The user uploads the file to his or her smartphone.

4. The virus encrypts important data in the device or encrypts the entire device, so that the user can not access his data.
