Isn't there one doing the rounds that affects Android as well?

Also, is there anything inherent to the GNU/Linux security set-up that
would prevent such crypto-crap?
Surely if the user is tricked into running something, then it's
game-over. Anything they can access is vulnerable.
On GNU/Linux that's probably just going to be their home folder and
shares...hmm....NFS mounts...nasty.
Or is AppArmour/SELinux going to stick the boot in and stop it?

i.e. are we currently protected by scarcity?
