Abstract
Ransomware is malware that stealthily gets installed. This paper gives an overview on ransomware, its types, and techniques used by the attackers such as mails and it discusses past ransomware attacks and how they have increased over the years, and a few mitigation methods to avert it in the near future as prevention is better than getting infected and finding a cure later.
