Title: [2016-07-14] The stupidest ransomware for Windows is also the most dangerous Post by: elyas772 on July 14, 2016, 03:23:20 AM Ransomware is a real problem for many institutions and consumers who do not know how to protect their PCs while surfing the web. Ransomware apps lock certain files on a computer with encryption, making them inaccessible until the target pays a ransom, usually in virtually untraceable Bitcoin. The scam is very lucrative for some hackers, who usually restore access to temporarily encrypted files as soon as a computer owner pays the fee, and these ransomware apps aren’t exactly easy to code.
Ranscam is one such example of a badly executed ransomware app. But because it’s a bad type of malware, it’s also the worst Windows infection you can currently get. http://bgr.com/2016/07/13/ranscam-windows-ransomware-malware/ Title: Re: [2016-07-14] The stupidest ransomware for Windows is also the most dangerous Post by: 1Referee on July 14, 2016, 07:29:07 AM It's almost funny how some people easily open email attachments without even knowing what damage they can cause to their home PC or the PC at their work. In this time you would expect people to at least understand that opening email attachments or downloading and installing certain things can harm your PC badly. I have worked at various companies and they all had very poor and outdated software running on their systems. I asked the big boss of one of the companies what the reason for this was, and he told me that it cost too much for them to have an IT guy walking here taking care of their systems. I told him that there is no need for an IT guy as he can simply do it himself as the company isn't that big. They have around 20 computers running and a few servers. Software costs are also no excuse anymore since there are great free legal alternatives for nearly everything. And he did actually what I told him and the companie's system is safe now. And that for free!
