Around the world, cyber criminals are holding companies hostage in a spate of cyber attacks that are forcing victims to pay out millions to keep their businesses online. Companies, schools, governments and hospitals are all being targeted by organised and sophisticated criminal gangs - but now law enforcement is fighting back and the FBI is leading the digital charge.
