A new infection is being distributed by porn sites that tries to blackmail a victim into paying a ransom by stating they will tell law enforcement that the victim is spreading child porn. This is done by collecting information about the user, including screen shots of their active desktop, in order to catch them in compromising situations. While it does not encrypt a victim’s files or upload any data to a remote site, it does an adequate job of scaring them into paying their blackmail demand. The current list of bitcoin addresses used by PornBlackmailer is worth about $3,350 USD at today’s prices.
