“…Efforts were primarily concentrated on preventing the installation of malicious apps through vetted app store mechanisms and using mobile security solutions that monitored for suspicious behaviors [22,23]. However, these strategies often fell short in environments where users could bypass standard security measures through activities like jailbreaking or installing apps from unofficial sources, thus exposing devices to ransomware risks [24,25]. Additionally, the smaller scale and more personal nature of mobile devices meant that users were more likely to pay ransoms quickly to regain access to personal data, a behavior that incentivized more attacks [26].…”

“…Additionally, the smaller scale and more personal nature of mobile devices meant that users were more likely to pay ransoms quickly to regain access to personal data, a behavior that incentivized more attacks [26]. The reactive nature of mobile security apps also struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of mobile ransomware tactics, which increasingly exploited novel vulnerabilities and social engineering methods [24,25,27].…”

A novel approach to mitigating ransomware attacks on Linux systems is introduced in this study, which capitalizes on the unique characteristics of the Linux file system. This method significantly deviates from traditional ransomware mitigation strategies that primarily depend on reactive detection algorithms. Instead, it introduces proactive system-level enhancements that preemptively secure file systems against a spectrum of both known and emerging ransomware threats. The core innovation of this approach lies in its strategic utilization of the structural benefits of Linux file system architectures, providing a robust framework for shielding against sophisticated and evolving ransomware attacks. These enhancements not only bolster security but also ensure minimal impact on system performance, thereby offering a balanced and effective solution to the persistent challenge of ransomware in Linux environments. By integrating behavior-based detection mechanisms with real-time system monitoring, this approach demonstrates a substantial improvement in both detection accuracy and response times, setting a new standard for ransomware defense strategies in Linux systems.
