I was actually not expecting this kind of ransomware…
I am used by now with “You’re hacked”, “You’re infected”… and others alike , but this one with the website is actually really interesting.
What I find very disturbing is the fact that there are 5 transactions. A few were for tests, I think, but there is at least one who paid.
They do use the a correct website of mine.
PS: Of course that my site hasn’t been hacked :))
Here are some of the headers:

First your database will be leaked or sold to the highest bidder which they will use with whatever their intentions are. Next if there are e-mails found they will be e-mailed that their information has been sold or leaked and your http://www.xxxxxx.com was at fault thusly damaging your reputation and having angry customers/associates with whatever angry customers/associates do. Lastly any links that you have indexed in the search engines will be de-indexed based off of blackhat techniques that we used in the past to de-index our targets.
How do I stop this?

What if I don’t pay?
If you decide not to pay, we will start the attack at the indicated date and uphold it until you do, there’s no counter measure to this, you will only end up wasting more money trying to find a solution. We will completely destroy your reputation amongst google and your customers.
This is not a hoax, do not reply to this email, don’t try to reason or negotiate, we will not read any replies. Once you have paid we will stop what we were doing and you will never hear from us again!
