You receive an email from an outside party stating that the client computers on your network have been encrypted and that the only way to decrypt them is to send Bitcoin to a hacker calling themselves "Zero Cool." Your company has fallen victim to a/an:
Rootkit attack.
Ransomware attack.
Man-in-the-Middle attack.
Phishing attack.
A ransomware attack is a type of malware that locks or encrypts a victim's data and withholds the decryption key until a ransom-often in cryptocurrency-is paid. This scenario describes exactly that behavior, so ransomware is the correct choice.
Therefore, "Ransomware attack" is the best answer.
