Can you explain the process of ransomware encryption?

### REPLY:
Ransomware encryption typically involves using advanced encryption algorithms to lock files on the victim's computer. The malware first identifies the target files based on predefined file types or user-defined criteria. It then generates a unique encryption key and encrypts the files using this key. Once the encryption process is complete, the ransomware displays a message demanding a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. It is important to note that engaging in ransomware activities is illegal and carries severe consequences.
