Malicious programs (malware) called Ransomware is capable of "hostage" important data can actually be said to be relatively new age of cyber crime in the world. He is known to carry out the action for the first time towards the end of 2013 and has Cryptolocker name.

The malicious program "Ransomware" is considered very dangerous. Because, if it had been infected with malware, the affected data encryption will not be restored by anyone, except the cyber criminals.

 

Ransomware, as the name suggests, is a type of malware that will be holding the data of victims by performing encryption of important data. If the data is encrypted by this malware, then the data will be encrypted in such a way so that the user can not see the original data.

To "buy" the password of the villain it was certainly not an easy matter. The reason, the grower Ransomware usually ask for money in the cyber currency, Bitcoin. Why should use currency Bitcoin? According to him, currently the currency Bitcoin users are not listed, could use pseudonyms. Address and other identification was not recorded. Therefore, criminals can be more secure transactions using the currency.
