The steps necessary to launch an effective ransomware attack include: 1) identifying the target organization, 2) researching existing backups and potential countermeasures, 3) creating a malicious payload for the ransomware that will spread to all systems within the network, 4) testing out the delivery mechanism and evasion methods against security solutions and processes to determine a robust infection strategy, and 5) launching the attack through established protocols for intrusion or downloading from an external site.
