چکیده
_____________________________________________________________________________ Ransomware has been widely touted as a highly dangerous, sophisticated and destructive breed of malware. And some of it certainly is. But based on recent academic research into constraints, commonalities and advancements across 15 ransomware families, many of the ransomware families in the wild today are not necessarily as sophisticated or scary as most believe. While certainly even simple programs can extort innocent people who aren’t able to separate real from fake cyber threats or protected by advanced security technology, what’s important to note is that the many ransomware today doesn’t fall into the hardest-to-catch camp that some more advanced threats do. In essence, most ransomware today is a blunt instrument for making a quick profit rather than an advanced surgical tool.
