A new fake update for the Windows 10 operating system is instead hijacking computers with ransomware.

The alert was raised at the beginning of this month and hundreds of people have already fallen victim to the scam, with millions more at risk.

The name of the ransomware is Magniber, and once a computer has been infected, users are served a warning saying that all their files have been encrypted.

For now, the victims are students and non-professional users, but what about the future? It can be a threat even for companies, like other attacks that happened before.
