As we are living in the era of information, the security of computer systems is gaining more and more attention. An attacker needs only one vulnerability, which, once exploited, can have a devastating effect on the targeted system. There are various reasons behind such attacks, but one of the most frequent motivations is the financial one, a well-known example of such an attack being the one which uses ransomware malware. This article analyses different methods of protection against ransomware malware on Mac-OS devices and studies the mechanism which made past ransomware attacks successful.
