Randomware

n. A mispronunciation of "RANDSOMWARE" when you are talking to your IT Security team about incident reports and accidentally mispronounce it as "RANDOMWARE". Because let's face it, you are a non-technical person talking to people who live in the Matrix.

Originated from an OG OIT Department meeting.

While ransomware is designed to block access to a computer system or files until a ransom is paid, randomware is when you are trying to talk the talk with your IT Security team and fail miserably at using the right lingo. So now you have to own it and coin a new term in the department.
