    The Source of the article is Malwarebyte who actually took his sources to Audiosex and MSJ

    Sorry, I somehow missed this. The variant I contracted was something called the adame ransomware. I've wiped my machine a long time ago, but you can find all of the available info in this thread on Bleeping Computer. (This was where I went to try and find out if it was fixable -- these guys are the experts at fixing this shit -- but this one just isn't fixable. You either pay the money or you lose your data.)

    If the last one is too deep a dive, this is a pretty good non-technical description of how it works:

    Slightly more real ransomware then, compared to what we were talking about; as it didn't allow one to "pay up" because the address was omitted from the text file or something! So it seemed it was just a test run.
