HelloXD ransomware bulked up with better encryption, nastier payload

Re: "Linux under attack"?

I wrote 'well administered' by purpose. It means:

1. The user doesn't know the root pw, so social engineering can do little harm.

2. Misconfiguration: Admin fault, not Linux fault.

My question is unanswered still: In common ransomware attacks M$ Windows and M$ Office play key roles. What would be a comparable attack vector against LINUX (not against admin faults)?
