UPDATE 8/7/2-14 : Good news the Cryptolocker data base has been recovered by law enforcement. Which means you can recover the keys to decrypt all of your lost files. You can obtain the keys and software to do so HERE.
If you would like us to recover your files contact us here.
CryptoLocker is an aggressive ransomware Trojan. It has been spreading in email as an executable file disguised as a PDF file, packed into a zip attachment and also via the Zues botnet.
If opened the virus proceeds to encrypt your documents (pictures, music, important program files or documents) across both local and mapped network drives. A ransom is then displayed on your computer screen demanding that you pay $300 plus dollars, within 3 days or your files will be lost.
The virus and ransom can be removed from your computer but the encrypted files are not able to be recovered unless the ransom is paid.
What can you do to protect your self?
