Princess Ransomware: Not So Pretty in Pink

Ransomware “Princess” ransomware is back, but it’s less demanding than it used to be. The latest version demands a ransom of 0.0770 bitcoin – currently worth about $350 – in exchange for a promised decryption key. The ransom amount represents a sharp decrease from the 3 bitcoins – worth more than $13,000 – that PrincessLocker was demanding last year. The ransomware is being distributed via a highly automated exploit kit called RIG. Exploit kits function by placing attack software on websites, where victims’ browsers get pummeled via drive-by attacks.”]
