S'pore authorities warn of ransomware in form of Windows OS update

The fake update locks up victims' data and then demands a ransom from those who inadvertently download it.

Downloading it through a fake Windows OS update link, a pop-up ad or an e-mail file from an unknown sender leads to a ransom note being displayed. Attackers might also gain access to photos and videos stored in the victims’ devices, which can in turn be leveraged to scam or extort money from victims.
