Can you explain the process of ransomware encryption?

### REPLY:
Ransomware encryption involves using advanced encryption algorithms to encrypt files on a victim's computer or network. The encryption key is held by the attacker, who demands a ransom to be paid in exchange for the decryption key. The encryption process typically involves scanning and encrypting files based on certain file extensions or predefined patterns. It is important to note that engaging in ransomware attacks is illegal and can cause significant harm to individuals and organizations.
