C is for CryptoLocker

CB Insight

There’s been a lot of talk about the CryptoLocker lately, as though it’s something new or unique.  Sorry to disappoint everybody but there are about 500,000 different variants of Ransomeware out there, all active and well; and all need to be covered.  So please, shake off your fear of this particular one, and start worrying about all of them and their individual variants.

It would appear, however, that this last strain is particularly nasty, so although panic is never justified, caution is in order.  What should you do?  The usual and the obvious, if I may say.
