In the first four months of 2016, we have discovered new families and variants of ransomware, seen their vicious new routines, and witnessed threat actors behind these operations upping the ransomware game to new heights. All these developments further establish crypto-ransomware as a lucrative cybercriminal enterprise. As we predicted, this year is indeed shaping up to be the year of online extortion,  and while the security industry may be doing an admirable job of keeping up with the latest new tactic and providing solutions, the not-so informed public and organizations may very well be on the receiving end of a crippling malware that can destroy personal and corporate files, as well as lead to huge financial losses.
