The malware that infects Windows-based computers and locks its files on the system and does not download blockchain. Then it asks for a monetary ransom in order to decrypt the locked files, which usually is in Bitcoin but in this scam, cybercriminals ask ransom payment to be paid in Monero, an open-source cryptocurrency
