The Ransomware Kill-Chain

Ransomware threat actors are becoming increasingly adept at exploiting vulnerable system services and unpatched operating systems to launch their attacks. However, most ransomware breaches still require end-user interaction.

Infection Infection

Ransomware executes and establishes persistence mechanisms when an end-user clicks on a link or opens a weaponized attachment in a threat actor's email.

Command and Control Command and Control

The ransomware calls home to an attacker-owned command-and-control server to provide information about the victim's computer and download an encryption key.

Encryption Encryption

Ransomware payments are typically made with digital currencies, such as bitcoin, that are difficult, but not impossible, to trace. Most, but not all, transactions end successfully.
