Abstract:
Ransomware is now become a bad tool to earn money, theft data, hack the system or to stop the normal functioning of the system. Ransomware is a malware that breaches the security of the system by using malicious codes. It encrypts the information and available data before noticing it. It hostage the data to earn money. Traditional vaccination system does not cure the infected system without obtaining information on ransomware. Since the data is encrypted hence cannot be recovered without encryption key. Users can avoid the infections of ransomware by updating vaccination system from time to time. However, this method has limited efficacy. This approach cannot trace modified ransomware with new pattern. Hence an active instead of a passive prevention method is urgently required. This paper explores the various ransomware attack. In this paper we converse the analysis of ransomware and the suggested action against ransomware attack. This paper also discusses ransomware removal and preventional methodology.
