Ransomware

Please download the attached file and put it on your SD card and rename it as AUTOBOOT.X16. This will render your CX16 unusable.

But do not be afraid. For a very low one-time payment of only .5 BTC, you will receive instructions on how to remove the ransomware from your computer, to make it work again.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

(it just turns the machine off when you run it; nothing serious happens.)

Make sure to display a laughing skull on the screen first, before the computer shuts off! =)

Maybe some sort of pirate themed music... let me see what I can come up with.

Maybe something like this, played on the FM chip...
