Fellow forum members

Here is a news article that everyone without adequate PC security should be aware of because the dangers are not only to your financial well-being but also to everything you spent your lifetime trying to build.

Use of Child Porn in Ransomware
 

Dear forum members

The link in my post above no longer works but I have come across this story, showing that the "ransomware" problem is not going away:

£150m sting to infect computers with child porn - Metro.co.uk

The state of Virginia had a problem last year when datajackers encrypted the database of narcotic drug prescriptions. I don't know if the ransom was paid, or if the state was able to break the encryption.

I just read that article about that trojan that puts CP on peoples computers...it says that they think this will start to double or even triple by the end of this year? Scary stuff...and you know people will pay the crooks because they KNOW that if they bring in their computer for someone to fix they could be prosecuted for being in possession on CP...this is incredibly disturbing...wow...
