Regretfully, analyze ransomware’s background, theoretical framework shows vast majority proposals lack either or studies. The well dimensions need be addressed properly understand scope nature problem potential solutions. Following approach, some basic guidelines about defense, mitigation sanction methods proposed order reach feasible response challenge defeating ransomware. These include definition autonomous offence. After setting out main results doctrine, conclusion section specifies drawn from such technical-legal
