http://www.bleepstatic.com/swr-guides/c/cryptolocker/CryptoLocker-thmb.jpg


One of the last detected Trojan- cabinets began to demand payment Bitcoin as a payment option to unlock the files on your computer . Malware called CryptoLocker . Audience CryptoLocker - computers , ranging from Windows XP to Windows 7 and 64 - bit . The malware is distributed in torrents , is not detected by antivirus . The malware uses a 2048-bit RSA key public and private key gets a C & C server to encrypt documents in alphabetical order on the hard drive , as well as all folders open network where you have access to the records . encrypted files fall under the mask : .. pdf , odp , . odm , . ODC . doc , . docx , . WPS . xls , . xlsx , . xlsm , . XLSB , . XLK , . ppt , . rtf , . psd , . jpg , . raw, . cer , . CRT . pem . pfx , . p12 , . p7b , . p7c , . pdf , . tif and so on . After encryption , or when the computer is disconnected from the Internet , CryptoLocker displays a window with the payment requirement and asking $ 300 or 2BTC to a specific account , to decrypt data . Upon payment of the victim is given 72 hours ( although the timer can be fooled by the BIOS) , after which the malware deletes itself . fact add to the Trojans high-end kriptovalyuty Bitcoin shows the growing popularity of the coin . Bitcoin is a useful tool - they do not need to cash out with the loss % , such as Ukash , simply exchange currency after anonymous .

Very scary malware. The file encryption makes it a lot more nastier than fake Antiviruses or movies players etc

Hopefully Antiviruses can protect against crypto locker soon.

Somehow someone at work managed to get this on their PC, pretty brutal malware.

Luckily I automatically back my computers up every night. If it wasn't for that I'd be out a lot of encrypted data.

Backups, people, backups!!

brutal malware

i this if this posible realy work this crypt
files,docs,txt job maybe some ofices etc....


if this crypt system work maybe lost a lot human resource time for text or some working proces difirents
this very hard situation

They never will 100%. Because of crypters, that crypt fully undected. (FUD).
CryptoLocker seems like a big setup/operation done by malware "pros". They will recrypt pretty fast. Likely faster than AV companies can update there signatures.

why can't the FED focus on taking this crap down interest of SR.

Very scary malware.

Not that scary. If you backup regularly, then it's a minor inconvenience.   If you don't backup regularly, then this malware is just preponing what would have happened sooner or later anyhow due to hard disk failure.  And even then you pay a much smaller price.

i dont understand how they can take USD and EUR without getting caught

UKash is a good way.

In Holland there was a similar mallware, only it looked like a message from the police saying that childporn was found on your pc, and you had to pay a 300 euro fine to unlock your pc.

It's not the same. What you described was a n00b malware thing which could be removed very easily. This one though is very hard. Once encrypted, you're fucked.

yeah i believe there are somewhat anonymous ways to pay fiat via prepaid cards and things like that.

Yeah I've heard about it.
If you get infected with that you're pretty much f*****..

This is the Internet, not the 6pm news. If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, don't. The asterisks aren't fooling anyone.

If it's automatic, then that likely means your hard drive is always connected. It scans for and encrypts files on external and network drives, too.

I don't understand this sense of humor. Why would anyone do this shitty program?

It apparently does a rather poor job at that, but that would just mean restoring two things instead of one  

You can track how much they've made on bitcoins alone, and it's a lot. Pretty obvious why someone would come up with this idea.

You Absolutley Right

if this realy make

1. full undetectable
2. check or recrypt any 20 or 30 min to api av
3. crypt system .txt .doc .pdf etc


if guy think this unncryptable so i wont say this real
if you get this in

ExploitsPacks drive by download
you not be know to your pc infecte
but how you reset you get 72 hour to up your ass and come sent btc to owner this botnets

this infection automatic a lot way

torents,iframe,sites,redirects,warez maybe jlue some new Bitcoin or LiteCoins miners

Double lol


Maybe 500 guys be make work job in ofice

Week

1. 5 or 10 human in week 8 or 10 hour day
2. elecrtity and etc...
3. human resources to make same job to week in some what be .pdf or .doc .xls or etc

1 Bitcoin

Scary.
How would one even go around stopping it ?
Does anyone have an idea how they would ?

[BadAss.Sx]

Simple, by making a backup every night...as you see it is needed in these days
