    “Decrypting patterns in Bitcoin Transactions - Identifying the Ransomware attacks” Developed a prototype Java application that accesses the Bitcoin dataset, extracts the relevant information required for analysing the transactions patterns formed during a Ransomware attack and applies a linear search algorithm to return the results. To support the study analysis, the information is displayed using D3js visualisation solutions. To facilitate the development process, the stand-alone application uses Spring Boot as a web server.
