Ransomware is a type of malware that takes control of a device and threatens to either publish or block access to the owner's data unless a ransom is paid. The other options, Camware, Spyware, and Scareware, do not use this method of attack. Camware is a type of malware that takes over a device's camera, Spyware is a type of malware that secretly monitors a device and collects data, and Scareware is a type of malware that uses scare tactics to convince users to pay for fake or unnecessary software.
