Dealing with web browser ransom-ware attacks: if you didn't know...

Let's say your browsing the web and you see a pop-up informing you that you've been penetrated, it asks you to buy services (or use some app): YOU IGNORE IT. IT'S JUST A POP UP AD NOTHING MORE.

Alls you need to do is close that web page (sometimes detatched): or more easily close the web browser.

Learn to bring up your system menu to close applications by list, and also learn to expose the web browsers buttons that allow closing of such a page WITHOUT clicking on anything on the malware web page (as i said, don't install software, and set your OS settings so apps must get outer permission (disable "one click" web installs)).

That's all. No need for virus scans or installing software. Your not subject to ransom: just close it you are safe.

It's %100 true that most all threats are merely hoping you won't know they were NOT able to breach Apple or Windows security (hoping you'll be tricked to think they did).

Unfortunately many NEWS MEDIA ads show pages such as above and call them ransomware which FALSELY EDUCATES new computer users to believe the web browser contains "ransomware". It doesn't.

ransom-ware is difficult to create and works only once: is usually done by someone on the inside of a large corporation or by foreign engineers (who contribute to android software) to target a single particularly rich company: it is never done to "home users", the cost would outweight itself

only corporate professionals need to worry about ransom-ware

trust me

ransome ware would not appear in a web page

why: because any professional ignores "pop-up ads" or even has pop-ups disabled. (note if you disable pop-ups that your browser will still allow certain kinds. summary: your web browser could install a virus but a web browser is never used by an attacker to show it's been installed: because it would never be seen by anyone who'd typically be a target (real money, big company, too savy to look at pop-ups))

that goes double for her! dating sites and porn sites are continual sources of fraudulent "pop-ups".

New users / people needed to be reminded that web sites and web pop-ups should be ignored reguardless of what they say. (also that they should insure they are on the "right website" to view information, because there are may look-alikes and fakes)

Based on the writing (and the quoting from Breitbart--hardly a source of reliable data), OP is the same person who was ranting about sharing of streaming accounts. "trust me", it says. Um, no.

^^ does not know shit about computers or breitbart or republicans

#1 i witnessed such a streaming theft

#2 the information above has been published MANY TIMES in the past - though reporters have seemed to forget that reminding the public is necessary

Au contraire, my young and deluded friend. But I'm not going to try to convince you, since you ignore all logic.

But I will point out:
1) I'm sure you have seen streaming accounts reused. And like many credentials, they get stolen and resold on occasion. That has nothing to do with your wild claims about cause and effect.
2) Wannacry is not a browser-based attack. So sure it's been published many times, just not in the manner you fantasize.

Just sayin'.

Pretty strange that people still face such problems and don't know how to handle them. Although, that's all due to IT illiteracy. Nowadays developers care about security, implement SSL certificates https://medium.com/@kingservers/choosing-an-ssl-certificate-686b5c7a4fb7, and so on. People need to learn how not get viruses and other questionable soft.

Once your e-mail address has been discovered, it takes but an unsuspecting click to open a convincing attachment and run ransomware on your PC.

Never put pics of your penis or vagina on the internet as it may put you in an embarrassing position.
