WeChat Ransom
Over 100,000 thousand computers in China have been infected in just a few days with poorly-written ransomware that encrypts local files and steals credentials for multiple Chinese online services. The crooks show a screen titled UNNAMED1989 and demand the victim a ransom of 110 yuan ($16) in exchange for decrypting the files, payable via Tencent's WeChat payment service by scanning a QR code.
