Abstract
Computing and smart monitoring devices or machines are involved in every organization and sector in present era. These machines have any operating system (OS), software and applications installed based on the requirement. Due to available security vulnerabilities in OS or software and applications, these machines have more chances to become victims of Ransomware attacks. Attacker demands for ransom in any form of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and other to normalize the files and services. Ransomwares are pandemic threats globally. Paper focuses on this part of the cybersecurity issues, the latest ransomware and their variants. In our research, we tried our best to explained ransomware and millions of dollar damage done by them in the past few years. Further, we have provided different ransomware spreading and detection mechanisms. At the end of the paper, if any machine infected through ransomware so some prevention, protection and recovery tools and techniques have been mentioned.
