Is Cryptowall a ransomware?
Could you elaborate on whether Cryptowall is classified as a ransomware? I've heard about this term but am not entirely clear on the specifics. Is Cryptowall a type of malicious software that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom in order to decrypt them? I'm curious to understand the mechanics of its operation and how it differs from other types of malware. Additionally, I'd like to know if Cryptowall is still active today or if it has been mitigated by security measures. Clarifying these points would greatly assist me in understanding the threat posed by this particular ransomware.
