👉 Ranses are a type of ransomware that encrypts and impales files on your computer. It is typically sent in response to a payment or request for assistance from the victim, causing the victim's files to be corrupted and encrypted. The ransom is then paid, usually through a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can be used to pay for access to the files. This type of ransomware is often used by cybercriminals to gain control over sensitive information and steal money.
