Researchers have discovered a new piece of ransomware featuring a Star Trek theme, dubbed Kirk ransomware, the first one accepting Monero payments. The name of the Kirk ransomware is clearly inspired by the name of a popular character in the fiction series Start Trek, such as a decryptor called Spock associated with the threat. The Kirk Ransomware was first discovered by the Avast malware researcher Jakub Kroustek, it is written in Python and is the first ransomware that uses Monero cryptocurrency as the payment currency.”]
