Jigsaw is a form of encrypting ransomware malware created in 2016. It was initially titled "BitcoinBlackmailer", but later came to be known as "Jigsaw" due to featuring an image of Billy the Puppet from the Saw film franchise.[1] The malware encrypts computer files and gradually deletes them, demanding payment of a ransom to decrypt the files and halt the deletion.[2]
