随着最近互联网上恶意活动数量的增加,网络安全研究在过去几年中得到了蓬勃发展。然而,由于恶意软件的某些变体可以为不良行为者提供高额利润的机会,因此大型犯罪组织将大量资源用于创新和改进。在这些形式的恶意软件中,勒索软件最近出现了显着增长,因为它为犯罪者提供了巨大的经济激励。勒索软件变体的运作方式是通过锁定系统或加密部分或全部数据来消除用户的系统访问权限,然后要求受害者支付或赎金,以换取返回系统访问权限或向受害者提供解密密钥。由于敏感数据在现代生活的许多方面无处不在,此类攻击的许多受害者,无论是个人家庭用户还是企业运营商,都被迫支付赎金才能重新访问其数据,但在许多情况下,这种情况不会发生,因为系统操作的重新正常化永远无法得到保证。由于勒索软件问题似乎并未消退,因此调查驱动和促进此类攻击的潜在力量以制定预防措施非常重要。因此,在本文中,我们讨论并进一步深入了解勒索软件的变体及其受害者,以便了解勒索软件如何以及为何成为目标,以及可以采取哪些措施来防止或减轻此类攻击的影响。
With the recent growth in the number of malicious activities on the internet, cybersecurity research has seen a boost in the past few years. However, as certain variants of malware can provide highly lucrative opportunities for bad actors, significant resources are dedicated to innovations and improvements by vast criminal organisations. Among these forms of malware, ransomware has experienced a significant recent rise as it offers the perpetrators great financial incentive. Ransomware variants operate by removing system access from the user by either locking the system or encrypting some or all of the data, and subsequently demanding payment or ransom in exchange for returning system access or providing a decryption key to the victim. Due to the ubiquity of sensitive data in many aspects of modern life, many victims of such attacks, be they an individual home user or operators of a business, are forced to pay the ransom to regain access to their data, which in many cases does not happen as renormalisation of system operations is never guaranteed. As the problem of ransomware does not seem to be subsiding, it is very important to investigate the underlying forces driving and facilitating such attacks in order to create preventative measures. As such, in this paper, we discuss and provide further insight into variants of ransomware and their victims in order to understand how and why they have been targeted and what can be done to prevent or mitigate the effects of such attacks.
