Designed to monitor ransom payments as a result of ransomware attacks, the Ransomwhere website aims to create a centralized, open, and free database to help assess the spread of ransomware, the size, and profit of operations, and the effectiveness of attempts to combat and mitigate this type of cybercrime.
