I have to admit that I have read an awful lot of technology, so called, "beat writers", talk about how clever, ingenious, or smart the virus coders are that wrote this little piece of garbage. I can't even begin to describe to you, the reader, how much this absolutely infuriates me. I've literally had to pick up pieces of my office because I've thrown some inanimate objects about quite recently.
How is it clever to try and bilk what now amounts to as much as 2000 dollars out of someone who you TRICKED into clicking on one of your malicious links? I find it repugnant, disgraceful and disgusting, very FAR from clever. How would you feel if this happened to your parents or grandparents? Would you really still think its clever? Would you say "Oh grandma, don't you just love how clever these guys were that encrypted all of your family photos and are holding them ransom?" I think not, I know I wouldn't.
These criminals deserve to be thrown in the general population of a maximum security federal prison for no less than 25 years for what they are doing. This is extortion/blackmail and instead of waxing poetic about how smart they are, we ought to be calling for their heads. I for one, have absolutely had it with all of this ridiculous banter over how incredibly smart these guys are, I think that if they catch these losers they really should lock them up and throw away the key.
I'm of the mindset that if you steal 2000 dollars from anyone or effectively delete someone's personal property (electronic documents, images, etc.), you should be removed from our society for a very long time.
I have the ability to write code, I take that pretty seriously, especially since I earn money from that ability, and you know what? I would never dream of using that skill, that I have worked hard to achieve, for an evil purpose. Maybe that's from the way I was raised, maybe its my conscience or maybe it's just that I have found a place in my life where I don't feel the need to destroy someone else's property. I simply can't fathom the idea of someone devoting their lives to stealing from people as a way to earn a living, it's simply beyond my comprehension. Then, to hear people give them compliments about the method that they created to steal from people, well, it makes me want to start throwing things all over again.
How is our society supposed to regain its once great reputation if we glorify THIEVES?
