CryptoLocker: Beware This Major Threat To Your PC Posted: 18 Nov 2013 02:07 AM PST Computer criminals have a new weapon in their arsenal. No longer do they need to send out phishing emails in the hope that you'll fall for the scam and hand over your bank details. The new technique is a lot less subtle, but much more lucrative. CryptoLocker is a new breed of malware, which is being distributed across the world by spammers sending out email messages. If you inadvertently click on the link within the email, and download the malware, it encrypts all of the files on your PC. The only place where the decryption key is stored is on the spammers' own servers, and it's only held there for 72 hours. To get it, you need to send a few hundred dollars. If you don't do so within the time limit, your files are gone forever. Nasty, eh. Well here's some things you can do to prevent getting caught out. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/cryptolocker-beware-major-threat-your-pc.htm
