The Week in Ransomware – December 9th 2016 – Osiris, PornoPoker, Popcorn Time, Locked-In, and More

Popcorn Time offers victims the ability to get a free decryption key if they can get two other people infected and have them pay the ransom. Russian authorities have arrested a man suspected of writing and distributing ransomware. The suspect, whose name hasn’t been released yet, goes by the nickname of Pornopoker.
