          Using the Wii U here, no issues. Maybe today is your day to invest in an XBOX One.

              How does an android get Ransomeware unless you download a app from the store or allow unknown sources in settings for apps? I don't think the browser itself would have direct access to the phone (it should be sandboxed)

                  @thecreativeone91 I assume that it is Trojan based.
