Question

which of these describe common types of ransomware? choose two answers. registry lock crackware lockscreen encryption scareware

Explanation:

To determine the common types of ransomware, we analyze each option:

• Registry lock: Not a standard ransomware type.
• Crackware: Used to bypass software protection, not ransomware.
• Lockscreen: A type of ransomware that locks the device's screen, demanding payment to unlock.
• Encryption: Ransomware often encrypts files (e.g., crypto - ransomware), making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid.
• Scareware: Deceives users into paying by creating a false sense of threat, not a primary ransomware type for file/device control like the others.

So the two common types of ransomware from the options are Lockscreen and Encryption.

Answer:

C. Lockscreen, D. Encryption
