Malware researchers recently discovered a particularly dastardly new type of ransomware, still under development. It gives its victims the option to either pay up or infect others to get the decryption keys to their data. At the very least, it sounds like an evil social experiment.

WOW!!! This is a very conniving and interesting approach to ransomware. The sad part is people will play along in order not to pay the ransom themselves. Ransomware attacks are on the rise and effecting regular everyday people daily.
