Recently, a new band of cyber troublemakers has appeared on the digital horizon. They’ve been busy breaking into virtual machines. Think of virtual machines like separate computers living inside your actual computer, each running different tasks and programs. These hackers slip into these spaces, mess up the data, and then demand a ransom to fix it.

In other words, they take the information hostage and leave a note saying, “Pay us if you want your precious data back.” It’s like your files are trapped in a thick fog, and the hackers are asking for a ticket fee to clear up the weather.

This group isn’t just targeting random places, though. They’ve got their eyes set on specific types of organizations, like schools and places where people go to have fun or relax, such as recreational centers. Why? Because these places often have valuable information and might not have strong security to protect their digital space.

While this might sound quite scary, don’t worry. There are superheroes in this story—cybersecurity experts. These professionals use their tech powers to protect computers and networks from hackers. They build digital walls and create secret codes that keep the bad guys out.
