Chinese authorities have arrested two men who distributed a version of the SLocker Android ransomware that was customized to look like WannaCry. The two authors were spreading their payload disguised as a plugin for King of Glory, a popular mobile game in China. The authors asked victims to send 40 Chinese Renminbi ($6) via Chinese payment providers QQ, Alipay, or WeChat. Police said the ransomware’s impact was limited because its authors didn’t have the experience necessary for mass distribution.
