Bitcoin Heist Ransomware Attack Prediction Using Data Science Process
Abstract
In recent years, ransomware attacks have become a more significant source of computer penetration. Only general-purpose computing systems with sufficient resources have been harmed by ransomware so far. Numerous ransomware prediction strategies have been published, but more practical machine learning ransomware prediction techniques still need to be developed. In order to anticipate ransomware assaults, this study provides a method for obtaining data from artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. A more accurate model for outcome prediction is produced by using the data science methodology. Understanding the data and identifying the variables are essential elements of a successful model. A variety of machine learning algorithms are applied to the pre-processed data, and the accuracy of each technique is compared to determine which approach performed better. Additional performance indicators including recall, accuracy, and f1-score are also taken into account while evaluating the model. It uses machine learning to predict how the ransomware attack would pan out.
