This is brilliant, I believe, but we need to be on guard. Ransoc ransomware uses clever tactics to target pedophiles is the article, and it comes from a newsletter I’m subscribed to. The human element is used in this attack, not the fact that files are being targeted and locked down. The fact that credit cards can be used as payment is another step, and hopefully, people who would pay would reject the charges saying that they had no idea what it was and they had no porn on their computers. This would force the people behind this to take the loss, which if enough people fight the charge, would put them out of business. Hopefully, this type of ransomware will not be around for long.
