From a privacy point of view, this is just awful, not to mention the extortion.

Reading that article it seems that the virus is targeting illegal download sites and the people that use them. Maybe we need more viruses like this.

Yeah outland, because mass extortion isn't a criminal offense punishable by jail time at all!

If you're dumb enough to knowingly pirate something, and then type your real name into it when asked, then you should be required by law to wear a football helmet, mouthpiece and pads at all times.

tkwg, You gotta admit thieves stealing from thieves on illegal download sites is a little amusing. Err, I was purchasing a license to receive stolen goods and low and behold they stole from me. Justice comes in all shapes.
The big picture though is more and more cc information is being stolen than ever.

Looking the bright side, it means ROI of standard spam/scam systems is declining and the bad boys are looking for new business models.

I came across a site that was doing something similar without any virus a few years ago. It would harvest emails from livejournal and then put them up on a website dedicated to pictures of gay men without clothing on. You had to pay to have it removed. So yeah, it's extortion.

I have had a few friends hit with this already. I run linux boxes mainly but still need to watch out no matter what you are running.
