We've all seen them - viruses, trojans, worms, rootkits, malware,
scareware...

I've just seen my first case of what can only be called Ransomware.

Simply put, it locks the user into a screen that says, "This is the FBI,
you've been doing something wrong and we're fining you $200.  You can't use
your computer until you go buy a $200 MoneyPak and give us the number for
it."

Seriously?

Until Later!
