In Ransomware various families exist like Cryptoworm, Raas and many. This Ransomware Target is mainly on corporates for beneficial profits. Cryptocurrency is one of the enabling factors of Ransomware. In 2019 according to research work Ransomware raised because of phishing emails and smshing to 109 percent over 2017.

Around 851 million Ransomware contagious activities happened in 2018. 34% of corporates came across with this malware and took months or more to recover back and to access their own data. The algorithms that are used by the Ransomware is very complex which cannot be understood by the normal users. This article is to share research findings about Ransomware, some unknown facts where exactly how Ransomware is growing, and also Restrict Recognize React concept (RRR concept) of Ransomware which is mainly for avoiding Ransomware. Restricting is the measures that as to be carried out for avoiding the Ransomware, Recognize is for identifying the Ransomware if device is infected with it, React is mainly responding to the attack to get rid of Ransomware.
