Beware the Rise of Ransomware
The latest spin on a ransom note isn’t composed of letters clipped out of a newspaper. Increasingly, criminals are unleashing brash attacks on your PC and its data through a type of malicious software called ransomware.

Ransomware attacks often use these tactics to demand you pay a ransom to remove the pornography or to access your files.
