Wow, that is sneaky!

I dont think I have seen anything like this before, and I have to admit that it is a creative tactic!

Should be a capital crime.

That is why we need to put those people who write those sorts or malicious programs put to sleep, if you know what I mean. And/Or solitary confinement until the release all the codes necessary decrypt the all files they encrypted, even if that means the rest of their life.

Dont laugh, they will pay off some more politicians and have that law drafted by lunchtime, along with a 99 year prison term if you try and clan the trojan off your PC.

And having such a law in the US would help you how if the ransomer is in Bulgaria?

Re: Should be a capital crime.

Hey, Bulgarians have to eat too, you know Besides the US still has a lot of weight in countries breaking its laws. Bulgaria, for example, and most of its people have aspirations to join the civilised world and given the opportunity, would even police themselves to make that happen.

This creative, although evil and malicious attack once again justifies having around a few reliable backup copies of your data.

Wow, that is one of the most arrogant comments I've ever read. Guess what? Team America is NOT the World Police.

Re: Should be a capital crime.

Uhm, I don't believe I said that. I simply stated that the US has an influence over the affairs of other countries (by force or more often not) when defending its interests (laws).

Besides, maybe you should read more comments if you found this one arrogant

nahh, just put them behind bars and spread rumors that the prisoner is a child molester. Even prisoners have some moral standards, he wouldn't last a day, literally.

And that way, hey, the government didn't do it

Re: Wow, that is sneaky!

because once hey find out who it is the government could use the CIA to extract the needed info and then make the said hacker be hard to find for anyone but a fish. yes i support blackops against people who write this kinda stuff to the point of whacking them.
