Ransomware malware threat has forced somebody for the terrible suicide and once again has marked its history by somebody’s blood. Sad, but it’s True!

 

Joseph Edwards, a 17-year-old schoolboy from Windsor, Berkshire, hanged himself after receiving a bogus email appeared to be from police claiming that he'd been spotted browsing illegal websites and that a fine of 100 pound needed to be paid in order to stop the police from pursuing him.

 

The scam email pushed the well-known Police Ransomware onto the boy’s laptop and also downloadedmalware that locked up his system once it was opened.

 

Edwards was an A-level student with Autism, a developmental disability, that likely made him more susceptible to believing the Internet scam mail, supposedly sent from from Cheshire police, was genuine, a coroner heard on Thursday.
