Cyberterrorism and Ransomware Attacks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534503410)

In this digital age, it is not only conventional weapons that are used to threaten and harm others. A new and terrifying avenue is cyberspace and ransomware. This malware encrypts a user's data and demands payment in exchange for unlocking the data. Such attacks are becoming more widespread: a 2017 cyber incident attacked more than 45,000 users in countries around the world. This anthology presents a collection of global perspectives on the topic that examines the potential of such attacks and how we can secure ourselves in the future.
