Various types of attacks are to be performed by intruders to obtaining user information as manin-middle attack, denial of service, malware attacks etc. Malware attacks specifically ransomware attack become very famous recently. Ransomware attack threaten the users by encrypting their most valuable data, lock the user screen, play some random videos and by various more means. Finally attacker take benefits by users through paid ransom. In this paper, we propose a framework which prevent the ransomware attack more appropriately using various techniques as blockchain, honeypot, cloud & edge computing. This framework is analysed mainly through the IoT devices and generalized to the any malware attack.
