A Short Review for Ransomware: Pros and Cons

Recently, the software virus Ransomware spread like a cyclone wind. As a cyclone wind creates atmospheric instability, Ransomware similarly creates computer data instability. Each user moves in the direction of digitization. The user securely holds data in his/her computer, but what if the data are...
