Ransomware has become infamous for asking those who fall victim to cough up cash to release their data. Now, a new one has sprung up that doesn’t ask for money but makes you play a video game.
Ransomware has been a fairly common topic when it comes to the front page and forums of Neowin. The program will often infect the host, encrypt precious data, and demand payment for the information to be released. While there have been successes in the past via free decryption tools , it is still a hit or miss scenario when one falls victim to infection. While we might not have blinked an eye in regards to another report of ransomware, it appears that this new one is a bit different.
«Rensenware» will encrypt your data, but instead of asking for your money, it will instead ask you to play a video game and gain a high score.
