here will help others avoid falling into the same trap that I did.

ideas, I sure in our special time together. Our meeting will happen

I feel happy that you can support me my dear, now I can feel safe with
it. Our meeting will happen soon, also we can meet New Year together

Miscreants have developed a ransomware package that blocks internet access in a bid to force infected
users into paying up by sending a text message to a premium rate SMS number, lining the pocket of
cybercrooks in the process.

The malware comes bundled in a package called uFast Download Manager and targets potential marks in Russia.
Users of infected machines are told (via a Russian language message) that they need to send a text message in
order to obtain an activation code for the product, which (ironically) poses as a software package designed to
increase download speeds. Victims are told that internet access has been blocked in the meantime because
of supposed violations of a licensing agreement.
