Ransomware

Malicious software that encrypts your data until you pay for the decryption key

Ransomware is devastating because of simplicity and lack of sophistication

In the hacking world, ransomware is probably one of the easiest attacks to perform. In fact, there are mature software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers at this point for which anyone can sign up. The steps are as follows:

1) Use a phishing tool to phish credentials access the target's infrastructure

2) Login and install the program provided by your ransomware provider

3) Negotiate a price and collect the ransom
