Mac users have been exposed to the first known instance of ransomware for the OS X platform.
Those who downloaded infected versions of the Transmission BitTorrent discovered that they had also been given KeyRanger, a piece of malware that encrypts the user’s hard drive after three days.
Users are then asked for payment to decrypt the disc, or in other words, they have to pay a ransom to release their Mac.
Ransomware is commonly distributed on Windows-based systems, but this is the first recorded…
Ransomware finally comes to Mac OS X
