Computer Trojan Displays Porn Site Ad
» Crime & Punishment » Internet
Hackers are infecting folks computers with a Trojan that displays an ad for a porn site and refuses to go away until the user pays to send a text message.
The Ransompage Trojan will display a persistent ad inline on every page that a surfer on an infected Windows machine visits. The ad for a pornographic website covers parts of the original web page, making it even more annoying. Accompanying Russian-language text instructs victims that in order to remove the ad - and gain access to an online smut site in the process - they need to send a premium rate text message.
