Ransomware

From Mary Brown | October 29th, 2009

Zarestel Ferrer blogs about a new variant of ransomware that has been discovered. The exploit encrypts documents that have file extensions most commonly used in business and then requests $100 in exchange for the key. Computer Associates (CA) have made available a tool for decrypting the documents without having to pay the ransom money.
