[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 573861, member: 7463"] Actually most of the recent videos have shown different Locky variants getting through, and Locky is really common. Although the original malware may be an exe or JScript or hta, or the extension is Locked or aesir, it still is nothing but Brand New Same Old Thing. That's what really troubles me- a truly smart security application would view these as Same Old Thing, but sadly most are dumb and see them as Brand New (when they see them at all!). As an embarrassing sidenote, most of the really new and obscure stuff I don't include as a rule in my videos, but run them for pleasure privately. And as I am also either on the phone or watching Mr Robot reruns while doing this I have a tendency to be distracted. Distraction is not good when running malware! The other day I ran a new Vaultlocker (which encrypts in seconds) on my production system instead of the VM (it was a REALLY good phonecall). Thank God for Comodo which rendered it harmless.
