petya(?) ransomewear

how do they make money spreading junk like that? i certainly understand the need to make cash, but that to me is like taking money from terrorists . its just going to turn around and bite you in the backside when you least expect it. and your not going to like the bite! // thanks for the rootkit, i will run it as well. though i am not expecting to find anything. its one less pest sitting on my shoulder.

Because people end up paying the ransom to get their data back, because nobody makes backups of their data.
