Mobile Ransomware

Description

Ransomware has been in the news repeatedly over the past few years. Mobile ransomware is a form of malware that locks your computer or mobile device, encrypts your files and holding them ransom until you pay a fee to the cybercriminals who hold them hostage. People are tricked into accidentally downloading the malware through social networking schemes, assuming that they are downloading innocent content or critical services. Simplocker, Svpeng, Pletor, Stampado, Fusob, CryptoWall and TeslaCrypt are some examples of mobile ransomeware.

Once downloaded, ransomware displays a screen-wide message that demands money from you to release the device. After the payment is processed, often via Bitcoin, the ransomware will send you an unlock code or decrypt the data. Mobile devices are now more integrated into our day-to-day lives than our PCs, a ransomware attack can have a tremendous impact on us.
