This is ransomware - what is this?
Does anybody know why links are being replaced with "This is Ransomware://"?
Re: This is ransomware - what is this?
Hello stringsofthesoul
Links have been changed to "This is Ransomware" using tools in the Administrators control section. The reason for this being a mass posting by hundreds of Russian spammers with links to disgusting porn sites (not the normal porn). There were close to 70 people registering accounts every day, so changing links to "This is Ransomware" was used as a deterrent which has so far proved successful

Thanks for the explanation. I wondered whether something nefarious had happened.
