DATA DEVALUATION THROUGH SMART CONTRACTS

Abstract

A system for a business entity is disclosed that is configured to execute an authorized countermeasure against a malicious actor via a smart contract in response to the system determining that the malicious actor has performed a malicious action. The system determines that a smart contract established between the business entity and an official agency defines an authorized countermeasure to be performed in the event of the malicious action. The system also determines that the malicious actor has performed the malicious action on the business entity. In response to the determination that the malicious actor has performed the malicious action, the system executes the authorized countermeasure with respect to the malicious actor, which may include one or more of a ransomware attack, a malware distribution, a beacon, a Distributed Denial of Service attack, a destruction of data, an encryption of data, a tokenization of data, or a scrambling of data.
