Ransom malware hits Australia as 30 businesses attacked. http://news.techworld.com/security/3401328/ransom-malware-hits-australia-as-30-businesses-attacked/
In one recent incident, a business in the Northern Territories reportedly paid an AUD $3,000 (about £2,000) ransom via Western Union to get back access to important financial records, including credit card data and debtor invoices.  The attackers demanded the money within seven days or the sum would increase by AUD $1,000 per week. Worryingly, this attack used 256-bit encryption, to all intents and purposes impossible to crack if the key has not been exposed during the attack.
