Abstract or project description

One of the deadliest malware that is gaining prominence is ransomware, a malware generated by Artificial Intelligence. Ransomware is a prominent problem in modern society, however modern technology has shown the ability to solve this problem with fixed algorithms and predictable attack patterns.  The problem under investigation in this research paper is the escalating threat posed by ransomware and the corresponding efforts to safeguard users and organizations from its destructive consequences. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, leveraging advanced techniques such as encryption, social engineering, and now, even artificial intelligence (AI). This presents a multifaceted challenge for cybersecurity practitioners, as traditional defense mechanisms struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape. Many have tackled this problem giving possible solutions or possible methods of attack. Often the methods of attack are not based on current operating systems used widely by the public but instead Raspberry Pi, an older system. This shows that although artificial intelligence is able to be incorporated into ransomware it is not ready for advanced systems. In this paper, I analyze two papers written on the rising threat of ransomware and how this threat can be disrupted.
