New OS X malware holds Macs for ransom, demands $300 fine to the FBI for ‘viewing or distributing’ porn
A new piece of malware is targeting OS X to extort money from victims by accusing them of illegally accessing pornography. Ransomware typically uses claims of breaking the law and names law enforcement (such as the CIA or FBI) to scare victims, but it is usually aimed at Windows users, not Mac users.
Wow this is really interesting. Just goes to show you that no operating system is free from dangerous of malware. Always be careful of any program or web site claiming to be law enforcement!
