Hackers are asking for an unusual ransom to return data to their victims. What is it? Nude photos.
Emsisoft has just released an updated tool decryption for the “ Ransomwared ” ransomware , which enables users to unlock their encrypted files , to which hackers have added the .ransomwared and .wanttits extensions.
In most cases, the cybercriminals behind ransomware demand monetary compensation to decrypt and return data to victims. Ransomwared, however, is asking for an… unusual payment.
Hackers attack victims' systems, install ransomware, encrypt data , and then display a pop-up window asking for payment . But what is this payment? As we said, it's not money. The hackers ask for nude photos of the victims. In exchange, the attackers will provide the decryption key. Basically, the message asks for photos of "tits."
Apparently, the attackers are not referring to the cute songbird but to specific parts of the human body. The question is how does the attacker know that the nude photos actually belong to the victim? It's none of our business.
Since a tool for Ransomwared is available, victims don't need to send either nude photos or images of the bird! You can download the decryption tool for Ransomwared here.
