Title: [2016-04-21] BNC. - CryptXXX set to become the worst bitcoin-stealing ransomware Post by: newsatbravenewcoin on April 21, 2016, 06:31:28 AM Bitcoin has a new and potentially considerable threat to its reputation, if California cybersecurity firm Proofpoint is correct. Last week, the company warned that a previously undocumented ransomware sample that they found, CryptXXX, would not only be encrypting files locally and on all mounted drives, “it’s stealing Bitcoins and a large range of other data.”
Not only is CryptXXX a multi-purpose thief, but the company's analysis shows it spreads in new and powerful ways; through a common trojan called Bedep after infection via the extremely popular Angler exploit kit. http://bravenewcoin.com/news/cryptxxx-set-to-become-the-worst-bitcoin-stealing-ransomware-yet/ (http://bravenewcoin.com/news/cryptxxx-set-to-become-the-worst-bitcoin-stealing-ransomware-yet/) Title: Re: [2016-04-21] BNC. - CryptXXX set to become the worst bitcoin-stealing ransomware Post by: 1Referee on April 21, 2016, 07:15:06 AM No matter what kind of virus people are talking about, it's the user that can make of break himself.
Simply don't : - Visit shady sites - Click on ANY links. - Open email attachments on your main PC, even not when the sender is trusted by you. - Download pirated stuff on your main PC. And most likely a few more, but these are very common ways of how people get their PC infected. |
