Explain the process of ransomware encryption.

### REPLY:
Ransomware encryption involves using cryptographic algorithms to encrypt files on the victim's computer. Attackers typically use strong encryption algorithms such as AES or RSA to make the decryption process difficult or impossible without the decryption key. Once the files are encrypted, the attacker demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. It is crucial to have robust backup systems in place to mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks.
