Ransom is now collected by the criminal’s expert in online programming and hacking by locking down a remote server or individual system. If the system is not protected properly by firewall, these criminals can get access to an individual computer or network of computers and encrypt all data. The method renders computer useless for the person. Hackers do it to demand ransom – payment either through anonymous sources online or Bitcoin to ‘release’ the computer system.
