Key Concepts
Cybersecurity refers to the practices and technologies used to protect devices, networks, and data from unauthorised access, theft, or damage. It involves measures like antivirus software, firewalls, and password protection to prevent cyber attacks.
Cybercrime refers to criminal activities committed using the internet or other digital technologies. It can include online identity theft, hacking, fraud, and cyberstalking, among others.
Ransomware is like a digital "kidnapping" of your files. It is a type of malicious software that is designed to block access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid. It can be installed through malicious email attachments or links, and once installed, it encrypts files on the victim's computer, making them inaccessible until the ransom is paid.
