[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1703813, member: 190607"] There is no ransomware for the Macintosh. Unfortunately, there is something that I call "scareware" for the Macintosh that tries to scare you into thinking that you have been infected by ransomware. If you encounter it, it is extremely scary, but the reality is that nothing has been downloaded to your Mac, your data has not been touched, and it's really easy to deal with if you know how. Just be careful to *NEVER* call any phone numbers in scareware. I've written an entire article about it. Have a look at: Scary Internet Scam Becoming Disturbingly Common [url]http://tidbits.com/article/15777[/url] [/QUOTE]
