L' INTELLIGENCE CYBER par Jean-Paul Pinte

There is a new and scary development in ransomware.

Ransomware is software that encrypts data on your computer and shared drives and then displays a message demanding payment for the decryption key. Generally, if you do not keep good backups of your data, your data will be lost.

According to a report on a German website, there is a new strain of ransomware that not only encrypts your data but also threatens to publish your photos and personal information on the internet if the ransomware is not paid.
