Seems that the cryptolocker virus is still going strong. There still isn't any cure to decrypt the files on the hard drive after it has struck. People are still being forced to pay the $300 dollar ransome to hopefully get their data back.
This virus is spreading into homes and offices at a fast rate. It has already infected over 250,000 victims. As of this date no one has had any success with getting the data back. The on screen timer will demand the ransom money in bitcoin be payed within 72 hours. Apparently a police department in Massachusetts was infected in November.
Once again the infection usually comes in through email attachments or over a network. This just an insane that just keeps getting worse. Here is a link to some good information on the virus http://www.zdnet.com/cryptolockers-crimewave-a-trail-of-millions-in-laundered-bitcoin-7000024579/ .
