  Abstract

In recent years, the production and dissemination of ransomware, a malicious code that encrypts users` files and systems and causes financial harm to users, has increased explosively. Ransomware uses malvertising techniques as well as attaching malicious files to spam. In addition, if the victim`s system is connected to the Internet, it can be infected. The latest ransomware has developed not only to steal cryptocurrency wallet information, but also to install cryptocurrency mining tools to illegally mine cryptocurrencies for attackers. In this paper, we analyze the latest ransomware reported in Korea and analyze them through characteristic classification. In addition, we present a new trend of ransomware with the advent of cryptocurrencies.
