   Running Ub. 20.04 experienced some problems with xscreensaver (missing module)   
   to simplify, reinstalled xscreensaver, and selected the BSOD screensavers,   
   left the options as they came   
   ..   
   Some hours later came back to my screen to find waht was at first glance a   
   very colourful, fairly realistic-looking   
   ransomware warning.   
   .. spent some seconds panicking...   
      
   Be warned, among the options you can select in the xscreensaver BSOD is   
   "Ransomeware" (seleted in the default installation)   
   Hope this saves another old codger from an incipient panic atack
