[NEWS] Nuova variante di Cryptolocker virus

[Unax]

Ransomware CryptoLocker was one of the most infamous malware families of the years 2013 and 2014 and although the operation behind the original CryptoLocker malware family has been dismantled in 2014, it’s still a name that frightens a lot of users and system administrators alike. It is therefore not surprising that other malware authors try to capitalize on CryptoLocker’s reputation by releasing copycats. One of the most recent copycats that we became aware of is a ransomware named PClock that showed up just a day ago. Unlike CryptoLocker though, which was a somewhat complex and sophisticated piece of malware, PClock is quite primitive by nature.

The latest ransomware attack comes from an updated Cryptowall 2.0 targeting Microsoft Windows 32 and 64 bit operating systems. This ransomware is the latest in the hackers arsenal in which it takes user’s data hostage for ransom. Cryptowall 2.0 uses the TOR network to mask and obfuscate its command and control channels. - See more at: http://blog.emsisoft.com/2015/01/07/updated-cryptowall-2-0-targets-windows-using-the-tor-network/#sthash.fJvGtvLi.dpuf

Strano che nessuno faccia nulla per bloccare questi cyber criminali dei vari cryptolocker. Eppure non credo sarebbe difficile, visto il controllo a cui ormai siamo tutti sottoposti anche online. Invece per bloccare siti di sharing, sono sempre in prima fila. Che schifo.
