Malware Vigilantes: Cybercriminals Targeting Child Exploiters Get a Taste of Digital Retribution
In a twist of cyber-irony, malware now targets the seedy underbelly of the internet—child exploiters. Enter ‘CryptVPN’, the not-so-knightly malware shaking down the unscrupulous with a $500 “be-good-or-be-gone” fee. Talk about a byte of poetic justice!
Hot Take:
When cyber-villains go Robin Hood, it's hard not to smirk a bit. A malware that targets the unscrupulous souls browsing the darkest corners of the internet for child exploitation material? It's like a digital vigilante doling out poetic justice, one Bitcoin ransom at a time. But don't get it twisted; vigilante justice in the cyber realm is still a crime, even if it's aimed at the bad guys. Let's not forget that two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make for some pretty juicy news.
