align=right>Ransomeware has grown in occurrence and sophistication in recent
months. One of the best known forms, called CryptoWall, just had Version 4
released. It has a greatly improved ability to hide from antivirus
software and firewalls. It is estimated that the distributors of
CryptoWall made more than $25 million in 2015. There have been recent
indications that the bad actors are concerned about maintaining the belief that
paying the ransom will really allow for file recovery. As such, in some
instances, they have been found on PC help forums, assisting victims with file
recovery and payment issues. How big of them!
Ransomeware typically ignores local drives but attacks server drives.
It will encrypt the data files and accounting databases on the server.
Malwarebytes is a great tool you can use to eradicate the actual infection
from any PCs. Once that is done you can began to plan for file recovery.
