Abstract
Ramsonware is a malware of its kind and is growing rapidly. There is an urgency to take this matter seriously. Honeypot which very few focus on is an excellence tool to gather information of ransomware. To deal with ransomware, it is important to understand the payment system, bitcoin. The proposal of using honeytoken to track the location of the receiver of bitcoin can help find the root of the cause.
