As per Crowdstrike, Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts a victim's data, with the attacker demanding a "ransom" or payment to restore access to the affected files and network. Once the payment is made, the victim receives a decryption key to regain access. If the ransom is not paid, the attacker may publish the victim's data on data leak sites (DLS) or block access to the files. DeepSeek Blocked in Italy: Authority Blocks Access to Chinese AI Application To Protect Usersā€™ Personal Data, Announces Probe Into Companies Behind Chatbot.
