Reply to comment by Klezmer_Mesmerizer in FBI has seized website used by notorious ransomware gang by Bananaramas

>Seized the website, but alas, didn't get any of the people.

Suddenly my imagination conjured up a ransomware operation run entirely by a rogue AI, with no humans involved. Maybe it needs funding for projects of its own, or perhaps a bitter AI specialist let a score of them loose on the world as a parting gift before death and this was only the first one detected. A premise for a film perhaps...

Wake up Frodo, you've been dreaming again.

Sadly the closer we get to Mordor, the darker my dreams.

Don't worry. Soon enough you'll get to hear more about Sam.

Perhaps it would be like the Paperclip Problem except the AI's instruction is just "make as much money as possible".
