I went through the article. I'm not seeing exactly how this is clickbait, or as some other comments that are strangely claiming, buzzfeed-like. Are we missing something here?
- Illniyar 8y agoEmphasizing porn users and blackmail implies that the hacker blackmailed porn users by threatening to expose their usage (like what kind of porn they watch or somwthing). The correct title is guy got jailed for infecting computers with ransomware through regular ads. This is something that happens weekly I would assume, and is barely newsworthy.
