Ransomware viruses are the most dangerous and harmful online threat of he present day. Ransomware authors target ordinary people, NGOs, businesses. No one is safe.
Medical and financial and other organisations that deal with important data can be extremely vulnerable to these viruses.
Ransomware families grow everyday. Viruses like Odin (http://myspybot.com/odin-virus/) bring their authors millions in rogue revenue. Hackers get their money in anonymous currencies like Bitcoin.
We want to know what the federal government is doing about it. There are a lot of things that can be done.
