Hi!
I was browsing the Web, searching for shortwave loop antennas, and I came across one of those ransomware pages, we all know them, except this one was a bit different, It had a script behind it, that made it full screen, but I actually couldn't get out of full screen, and I couldn't get to the taskbar, so I just did a ctrl alt del and closed ie.

So apparently they use javascripts to try and trap the user, but when I tried to visit the site today, it was gone. If I can find another site script like this, I'll tell you guys, but if you know anything else, could you reply?

Was that website legit ?
If it was, then I guess it was hacked and someone did a RFI/LFI on the website to inject that code with the Ransomware. What was that Ransomware about ?

It was a Cheshire police Ransomeware (ukash) and the website just had a picture of a dipole antenna on Google images, I can't find the same picture on images
