Understanding Ransomware and Safeguard against it!

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts a victim's files and demands a ransom payment in order to restore access. It typically spreads through phishing emails or malicious websites, and once it has infected a computer, it encrypts the user's files and displays a message demanding a payment to unlock the files.

Ransomware attacks can be devastating for individuals and organizations, as they can result in the loss of important data and the disruption of critical operations. The attackers often demand payment in the form of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, which can make it difficult to trace the transactions and identify the attackers.

To protect against ransomware attacks, it is important to implement effective security measures, such as keeping software and operating systems up to date, using antivirus and anti-malware software, and avoiding suspicious emails and websites. It is also important to have regular backups of important data, so that if an attack does occur, the data can be restored from a backup rather than paying the ransom.

This course explains details of ransomware and how to stay safe from cyber attacks of such kind.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and act like humans. These machines can be trained to perform a wide range of tasks, from recognizing speech and images to providing customer service and making decisions. AI has the potential to transform many industries and make tasks faster, easier, and more efficient. It is achieved through a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and other advanced technologies.
