British Hacker Targeting Porn Users Jailed For 6 Years #1
"A British blackmailer who used fake FBI notices to scam porn site visitors out of more than $5 million has been jailed."

"The BBC reported that investigators were able to pin down £700,000 ($916,135) of Qaiser's personal profits. However, in total, the 24-year-old's criminal network may have made in excess of £4 million."

Zain Qaiser began this scam when he was only 17. He purchased a ransomware named Angler from an unknown Russian source to use. He then purchased ad space on legal porn websites. When a person would click the link it would download Angler to their systems. Angler would then scan for vulnerabilities to use the ransomware.

There's a lot more to this story here:
