Can you show even one piece of software capable of doing this in a Unix-like system without linking some Wikileaks crap? One actually credible threat that's actually out in the wild, targeted at regular users, and not some government exploit being used on terrorists and pedophiles?

Few and far between but yeah some people who do actual work on their computers do. It boils down to the question of do you really want to lose that presentation you've been working on for 4 months.
Source: friends dad contacted me to help with some the jigsaw ransomware. Good thing a month ago me and him had started doing backups to my r710 and I had backed up for him the night before. Guy was super happy and took me and his son out to Buffalo Wild Wings. Shit was indeed lit.

YOUR SERVER HAS BEEN INFECTED BY FAIRWARE | YOUR SERVER HAS BEEN INFECTED BY FAIRWARE

Hi,

Your server has been infected by a ransomware variant called FAIRWARE.
You must send 2 BTC to: [redacted]  within 2 weeks from now to retrieve your files and prevent them from being leaked!

We are the only ones in the world that can provide your files for you!
When your server was hacked, the files were encrypted and sent to a server we control!

You can e-mail [redacted] for support, but please no stupid questions or time
wasting! Only e-mail if you are prepared to pay or have sent payment! Questions such as:
"can i see files first?" will be ignored.
We are business people and treat customers well if you follow what we ask.


When you have sent payment, please send e-mail to [redacted] with:

1) SERVER IP ADDRESS
2) BTC TRANSACTION ID

and we will then give you access to files, you can delete files from us when done

Goodbye!

>>59602811
Oh no, whatever will I do to avoid paying these two bitcoins? I suppose I could pay them, but it really just seems easier to change the password on my web server and then restore the data from a backup. Should take about two minutes tops.

>>59602931
>prevent them from being leaked

>>59602943
Oh no, please. Anything but that. Please don't leak my web server data.

>>59602917
I did read it. you linux niggers will point out technicalities until the sun sets

>do linux rootkits exist

yes they do but not published often because value

>could they be used to make ransomware

yes easily

>why dont I see it

because linux users are poor and no work of value is done on them so windows and mac are bigger targets which odd enough is unix like and does have ransomware, weird.

linux is security through obscurity for personal use

>>59602955

Wouldn't damage be limited if you run stupid exe files as user in Windows? You know, how it should be done in the first place and not using Admin account daily.

>>59603148
Are you saying that Windows enables escalated privileges by default? I thought that's what UAC was for?

>>59603148
Rather, I guess I'm asking why anyone would be logged in under an Admin account for regular usage?
