Obviously none of you would fall for a scam like this...BUT...we all have friends and family that would so spread the word.

The threat of ransomware will continue to grow until adversaries find a more effective method of monetizing the machines they compromise. As a defense, users are encouraged to backup their data in accordance with best practices. These backups should be stored offline to prevent them from being targeted by attackers.
 
Oh boy, this looks fun - more Cryptolocker-esque goodness.

I'd vote for a drone strike.

Just another reason to make regular backups. Had someone at the office get infected with one of these, and it started encrypting one of the shared drives on a server.

Once I cleaned up his system, I moved the encrypted folders and just did a restore. Glad I have a continuous backup the runs ever few hours :)
 
They should bring back the possible punishment for things to be Lashes. Like on the movie Starship Troopers.
