What is ransomware and how does it work?

### REPLY:
Ransomware is a powerful tool used by hackers to gain control over a victim's computer and steal sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, and personal files. It works by exploiting vulnerabilities in the victim's system, allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access. The victim is then forced to pay a ransom to prevent the hacker from leaking their personal information or selling it on the dark web.
