A porn app developed by Russian hackers takes your photo, locks your phone, and displays a scary looking message from the "FBI" that says you have to pay a $500 fine for accessing "forbidden pornogaphic sites."
This piece of ransomware is called Porn Droid and affects Android devices. Unlike a similar porn malware app called Adult Player, which also take users photos and demands a ransom, Porn Droid users stay locked out of their phone even after they pay the ransom.
From IB Times:
According to security company ESET, which uncovered the campaign, the only way to recover access to your phone is through a factory reset, which means that all your photos, videos and contacts will be deleted and, unless they have been backed up, will be lost forever.
