The technical term for it is Ransomware. It's a PITA to clean and it will be expensive to do.

This. It's getting very popular. There is so much crap hackers can do to individuals and companies without anyone realizing through links and simple files. These files can be transmitted through executables disguised as simple .pdf's. This is why I have a mac, they are less susceptible to malware, viruses, etc and they are less buggy. I run a windows virtual machine on the off chance I need to run something designed for pc only. I also have my most important files stored in the cloud.
