More cybercriminals are populating the market segment with services tailored to fellow cybercriminals looking for access to freshly compromised PCs to be later abused in a variety of fraudulent/malicious ways, all the while taking advantage of their clean IP reputation.

In essence, post infection is encrypts all of your "document" files based on file extension and then gives the user 72 hours to pay the ransom ($300 USD or 2 BTC). It is one f the few pieces of ransomware that does encryption right so at present, short of paying the ransom, there is no other means to decrypt.

EMV technology has also led to an increase in attacks on e-commerce systems targeting cardholder data. Each year, Trustwave SpiderLabs investigates hundreds of incidents of data compromise.

As Dan Kaminsky showed [1], 16 bit query IDs are an insufficient protection against DNS spoofing. As a result, DNS servers started to randomize the source port of DNS queries in order to make DNS spoofing harder. This was never meant to "fix" DNS spoofing, but worked well enough for DNSSEC to be pushed back yet again.
