Till now we all have heard about the Ransomware
malware that encrypts your files or lock down your computer and ask for
a ransom amount to be paid in a specified duration of time to unlock
it.
Emsisoft has detected a new piece of malware called “Linkup”, dubbed as “Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Linkup”
that doesn't lock your computer or encrypts files; rather it blocks
your Internet access by modifying the DNS settings, with the ability to
turn your computer into a Bitcoin mining robot. Sounds Interesting??
