RE: You’ve Been Warned Big Business. Ransomware is Coming for You!

in #security7 years ago

There is one positive side about this though, they only ask $300 USD atm to transfer in bitcoin which means they don't do this for the money they merely do this to show the government and big companies out there that both of them are not in power, but the masses are in power and just people like you and me could disrupt them. I hope this wakes up the governments and big businesses out there.

Sort:  

There was a $4 million ransomware ask of a web hosting company, which was negotiated to $1 million, and paid just a few weeks ago. With that kind of money to be made, don't underestimate the greed of cybercriminals.
