Sassy virus extorts money from the Chinese

In China, through the WeChat messenger, an extortion virus spreads on December 1. In just a few days, he infected more than a hundred thousand devices. On the scale of China, this is not so much, but if the problem had not been discovered right away, who knows what this could have reached. Once on the smartphone, the virus does not even think to use the gadget for mining cryptocurrency without being noticed. Instead, he directly demands a ransom of 110 yuan.

At the same time, the extortionist steals user account passwords for Alipay, NetEase, Baidu Cloud Disk, Jingdong, Taobao, Tmall, QQ and AliWangWang services.They say that the virus is aimed only at people in China, but, on the other hand, the WeChat messenger is used not only in this country.
