Question

Which of the following islare correct with respect to Ransomware?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ransomware uses a form of asymmetric Public Key Cryptography by encrypting a victim's files using a public key generated from another computer. That computer holds the private key which is needed to decrypt the encrypted files, and it can only be easily decrypted using that private key.

Ransomware is often spread through phishing emails that contain malicious attachments or through drive-by downloading. Drive-by downloading occurs when a user unknowingly visits an infected website and then malware is downloaded and installed without the user's knowledge.

Ransomware typically spreads via spam, phishing emails, or through social engineering efforts. It also can be spread through websites or drive-by downloads to infect an endpoint and penetrate the network.
