While not a new concept, counter-marketing with social media does provide companies a unique way to increase awareness and demand while at the same time attempting to neutralize the impact of competitor social media marketing. The aim of social media counter-marketing is not to disparage competitors or detract from their social media efforts, but to translate their work into another opportunity to bring awareness to your company, message, and offerings.

This paper evaluates attack methodologies of a ransomware attack: the underlying file deletion and file-encryption attack structures. In the former, the authors uncover the data recovery-prevention techniques and in the latter, they uncover the associated cryptographic attack models. The deeper comprehension of potential flaws and inadequacies exhibited in these attack structures form the basis of the overall objective of this paper. The deeper comprehension also enables the provision of enough technical information to guide decisions by victims before making hasty decisions to pay a ransom which might result into not only financial loss but loss of access to the attacked files if decryption is not possible by the attacker.

In this paper, the authors focus on ransomware, which is a type of digital crime that is essentially theft of information followed by demanding a ransom from the victim to regain access. They recommend a paradigm change, akin to the ARPANET project, with regards to a broadly deployed network storage system. The intent is to find a solution which addresses: 1) the financial incentive for ransomware attacks and 2) the difficulty of securing a system from an ever-evolving social/technical attack matrix. In addition, the authors take into account the restraint that any solution must be cost-effective.
