Ransomware malicious software has evolved since its beginnings when it was confined to one or two countries in Eastern Europe which then spread across the Atlantic to the United States and Canada. The number of cyberattacks during 2020 was double that of 2019. The first versions of this type of malware used various techniques to disable the computers by locking the victims system machine (Locker Ransomware) . Some examples of how this ransomware works, include; locking the screen by displaying a message from a branch of local law enforcement indicating the user's lines like “You have browsed illicit materials and must pay a fine”. They were first seen in Russia by year 2009 claiming to be a message from Microsoft. They also used to request a payment by sending an SMS message to a premium rate number. The next variant displayed pornographic image content and demanded payment for the removal of it.
