Ransomware has emerged as a pervasive and disrup
tive cyber threat, targeting individuals, businesses, and organiza
tions worldwide. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of
ransomware, including its history, evolution, methodologies, im
pact on victims, and mitigation strategies. The study explores the
various infection vectors used by ransomware, such as phishing
emails, exploit kits, and vulnerabilities in software and systems.
It delves into the encryption techniques employed by ransomware
to render files inaccessible and examines the communication
channels through which ransom demands are made. The paper
also discusses the economic and societal implications of ran
somware attacks, highlighting the financial losses, data breaches,
and operational disruptions faced by victims. Furthermore, the
study reviews existing countermeasures and best practices for
preventing, detecting, and responding to ransomware incidents,
emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity awareness, regular
software updates, data backups, and incident response planning.
By synthesizing insights from cybersecurity experts, industry
reports, and case studies, this research paper aims to provide
a comprehensive overview of ransomware and contribute to the
ongoing efforts to combat this evolving cyber threat.
