It has targeted various public organizations and businesses of all sizes and across industries, aiming to exploit personal benefits and destroy the backbone of the economy. Ransomware evolved into many different formats and leveraged numerous anonymization techniques, including the abuse of cryptocurrency to launder the payment.
