Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Regarding ransomware types, we have locker ransomware that locks you out from your computer until you pay the ransom and crypto-ransomware that encrypts your files so you cannot read them. WannaCry is the latter type and it propagates through a worm, meaning it can spread without victim participation.
