Attackers held an Austrian hotel network for ransom, demanding $1800 in Bitcoin to unlock the network. Among other things, the locked network wouldn't allow any of the guests to open their hotel room doors.
I expect IoT ransomware to become a major area of crime in the next few years. How long before we see this tactic used against cars? Against home thermostats? Within the year is my guess. And as long as the ransom price isn't to onerous, people will pay.
