| | Well a new Trojan is out called Backdoor.Win32.Delf.ctk, but this time it has a nasty surprise. Once the trojan is in your system it will lock you out and display a message about paying a ransom to unlock the system by phone. Of course this is a brand new version to ransomware if someone of you may have remembered that the other version consisting of sending a email or something telling you to electronically send money in order to decrypt your computer. Of course the catch is with that is the extortionist could keep on making you pay money until either your broke, they finally give you the code, or you crash your computer and reinstall everything.
So be careful on what you open something odd as there is no known patch for this as of yet.

I found this to be a very interesting security news story and a very interesting worm, due to the
fact it only goes after MP3 files, which is the file type use to compress music into small files.
Anyways security expert claim this to be a low level threat, however, even a computer noob that a
low level worm, virus, or trojan can become a high level threat just like that. Of course the way
this worm gets passed around is even more interesting, it uses flash drives to set up the infection
and then kicks in when auto run kicks in when you play a cd or anything that uses t...
