Il tuo computer e stato infettato da Cryptolocker! Ransomware – what is it?

Another version of CryptoLocker virus has appeared in the wild, and this one is known as Il tuo computer e stato infettato da Cryptolocker! virus. In the English language, this line means “Your computer has been infected with CryptoLocker.” However, the ransomware seems to be designed for Italian computer users, as the entire ransom note is written in this particular language. The ransom note appears in the form of a red screen that looks like a program. It contains information about the encryption and details about the decryption. As any other ransomware, Il tuo computer e stato infettato da Cryptolocker! malware wants money, so it commands the victim to buy Bitcoins worth 130 Eur (that is the price of the ransom that this virus wants), and transfer these Bitcoins to a specified Bitcoin address. After the payment is done, the victim should get the decryption key and then start rescuing files one after another.

How does this virus get inside computer systems?

Victims of ransomware attacks often question themselves – why me? What did I do wrong? There is no exact answer to this question, but we believe that victims did not follow safe browsing rules and probably didn’t have at all or kept an outdated anti-malware software on their PCs. Ransomware is probably one of the most fearsome computer infections nowadays, and their developers use various techniques to insert this cyber threat into victims’ computers. For that, they use Trojan horse tactic – conceal malicious scripts in regular and safe-looking records such as documents or archives. Who would even think that malware can be hidden in, for instance, Word file? In fact, that is probably the most popular way of spreading ransomware viruses nowadays. If you ever receive a prompt asking you to enable Macros on a recently downloaded document, don’t. This way, you would activate a malicious script that can encrypt all your files. Besides, there are other ways how ransomware can get inside your computer. Please read about corresponding ransomware prevention methods here.
