New Ransomware Threatens to Send Your Internet History to All Your Friends

in #hack7 years ago

After WannaCry and Petya ransomware outbreaks, a new strain of ransomware has been making the rounds on the Google Play Store in bogus apps, which targets Android mobile phone users.

Dubbed LeakerLocker, instead of encrypting files on your device, this Android ransomware secretly collects personal images, messages and browsing history and then threatens to share them with your contacts if you don't pay $50 (£38).

haha, good luck with getting me to pay that one. My friends would be so bored reading the literature of collapse and economics and theoretical stuff that no-one likes. And hot girlies, but they know what they are too

Probably, looking at the stuff you read about, they won't threaten you at all. They might get into economics and other theoretical stuff and it could change their lives, eh?

I think they have filters on, in general. Maybe I don't really have any friends. haha.

big hugs

Who knows, what if they are dumb? haha
No friends? They'll threaten you with your steemit followers? xD
