New Ransomware Bundles PayPal Phishing Into Its Ransom Note
#1
Quote:A new in-development ransomware has been discovered that not only encrypts your files, but also tries to steal your PayPal credentials with an included phishing page.

The ransomware itself is nothing special, but the ransom note is clever as it not only tries to steal your money through a normal bitcoin ransom payment, but also offers a choice to pay via PayPal. If a user chooses to pay using PayPal, they will be brought to a phishing site that will then attempt to steal the victim's PayPal credentials.

This ransomware was discovered by MalwareHunterTeam and contains a ransom note that states the user can either pay via Bitcoins or use PayPal.
