| 1354355 | 2013-09-25 08:54:00 | Looks like this is starting to do the rounds. (blog.emsisoft.com)It's a nasty piece of work. It's similar to the other ransomware that's been around, but this includes RSA 256 bit AES, that encrypts everything by the looks of it including files on servers. It may also spread to shared drives / folders. And unless you pay $100-300 to decrypt the files, or unless you've got backups, you maybe SOL in getting any of the files back. Altho one of the guys at Emsisoft has made some kind of decryption program (as he says on Neowin - I verified that all sample files that people sent me are decrypted correctly). See post 25 and 29 here on Neowin for the links / usage (www.neowin.net) The mods may want to sticky this. It may help people or their mates / customers if they get it. It looks like you can get it as an attachment in email too |
