Ransomware....pffft.
Only if you're stupid will you get that installed in your computer.
I am more worried about the privacy invasion that is Microsoft/Windows collecting every piece of information about you from your computer....hence the name
windows.
Even your Antivirus is more concerning than Ransomware, it scans every single file on your computer and knows everything you have and who you are (It's the ultimate government spyware). Viruses and Spyware were created for this very purpose. To have actual spyware installed on your computer willingly.
Borrow my tinfoil hat and relax
I would'nt say that mate. Not this time .
This group is very well organized,, bunch of smart ars T-rexes we're dealing with.
They know very well how to pull off a scape from the center of the park and pick up an innocent tourist.
I saw some pictures and I can assure you they have made it to look like a real business.
Easy to make a mistake , can happens to anyone.
They're looking to find out what's your prime interests. This could be anything (gambling / sport / health / ..... and so on). Hence, a public domain (Forums / facbook / twiter / .....) is such an attractive fun park for these son of a bitches.
It's extremely important, not to post any private info regarding anyone in a public forum. ( domain register /mail address/ names / ................).
And yeah , Microsoft is a big mess when it comes down to security and Privacy. spot on.
a colleague of mine has upgraded from Microsoft to Linux (GNU/Linux).
He does'nt have to deal with this kind of shit.
Has to be said, number of people who use the Microsoft worldwide are in majority.
That makes Microsoft an very attractive target for cyber criminals.
btw, No worris about tinfoil hat brother . It's okey .
