CryptoLocker Ransomware What You Need To Know

Happy to help.
I really think Britec09 does an amazing job. If some of you have not seen his malware removal vids, you should. He is really smooth and does not sensationalize anything.

New CryptoLocker Ransomware Variant Spread Through Yahoo Messenger

A new variant of the CryptoLocker malware has been discovered that uses Yahoo Messenger as its delivery mechanism and is targeting Windows systems. My friends at NSHC in Singapore and Seoul have been battling with the malware that has hit a number of financial institutions throughout Asia Pacific.The variant infects systems and distributes itself out through contacts in Yahoo Messenger, with the payload disguised as an image.

The malicious file named “YOURS.JPG.exe” requires users to download and execute the code utilizing social engineering tactics. Once this is initiated a series of steps take place and modules are dropped and downloaded to the system and files are encrypted on the system.
