its called cryptolocker or other names with crypto in it. what the virus does once it gets into your system and activated. it starts to encrypt your personal files like:docs, JPEGs and word etc... it uses an aes 256 bit encryption to do so. then you have to pay these thugs who made this little nightmare $300.00 usd to get them unencrypted, you only have 48 hours to do so. If after the 48 hours is up and you don't pay or try to fake a payment. they delete the key to unencrypt your files.
our company got hit with this on Thursday last week.it really sucked, cause where I work. We share work files off a server our autocad files, our AI files, pdf files, etc.. got encrypted. some of it was old stuff others were new clients. so, please if you share files on a server back them up and be careful what you download.
im including some links to info about it.
