  • Detecting file encrypting malware
    Patent number: 9292687
    Abstract: A method in a computer for detecting a file encryption attack. The computer detects an attempt to overwrite current file data of a file with new file data. The computer then compares the new file data to the current file data to obtain a measure of the difference between the current and the new file data, and if the difference exceeds a threshold, the computer considers this to identify a file encryption attack.
