Ransomware seems to be a relativly old form of malware that is beginning to resurface according to Trend Micro. This form of malware takes certain files on your computer and encrypts them. You will not be able to access the files unless you pay the malware writer a fee for the program to decrypt the files. You can find more information about this malware on Wikipedia.
I think that this type of malware is particulary destructive / disruptive and could cause massive problems for computer administrators in future if this type of threat increases.
