Just got this nasty thing in my email  
from "Poloniex, via Dropbox" <no-reply@dropbox.com>
subject "Poloniex, Inc sent you "Poloniex Windows Application (Beta version)"




Virustotal shows its a ransomware called FileCrypter - https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e3bab81871d1e28542acba36de173c68262ca42e0977bf7371142884013fbd9b/analysis/1463682581/

File name:   Poloniex_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe



So be aware and be safe! Don't download, click or run this.

Thanks for the warning. Luckily most virus detectors recognize the file (structure) already!

But to stay (most likely) safe - use Linux.

Nasty. Thanks for posting.
Sounds like they have gotten reports of it.
