I had no idear this was such a massive problem. How often are nefarious purps holding people's private data hostage?

Seems overblown.

It's a very big problem, Cryptolocker in 2013 was able to score it's creators around $27 million. That was 3 years ago, it's a pretty dangerous and persistent threat.
