New Threat as of April 27th, 2014.

Warning: Crital Alerts;
Zero-Day exploit Reported, Affects  Internet Explorer  Versions 6-11 !
Critical Alert for Zero-Day Reported, Affects  Internet Explorer  Versions 6-11 !

A new zero-day flaw is being reported that affects Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11, with IE9 through IE11 being actively targeted. When enacted, the vulnerability has the potential to take over the computer. And depending on how high the rights level of the user, will determine how much damage can be done.
In other words, if a user has administrative rights to the computer, the exploit will enjoy full control. When setting up a pc, administrative rights for normal users is a no-no, if normal users already have administrative right they should be down-graded.  Cases like this should be enough to convince user/management to revoke administrative rights for users, and across the board in business usaged..

Critical Alert for CryptoLocker !
 
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Cryptolocker) Jump to: navigation, search CryptoLocker Classification Trojan horse Type Ransomware Subtype Cryptovirus Operating system(s) affected Windows.

CryptoLocker
is Trojan horse malware which surfaced in late 2013, a form of ransomware targeting computers running Microsoft Windows. CryptoLocker disguises itself as a legitimate attachment; when activated, the malware encrypts certain types of files stored on local and mounted network drives using RSA public-key cryptography, with the private key stored only on the malware's control servers. The malware then displays a message which offers to decrypt the data if a payment (through either Bitcoin or a pre-paid voucher) is made by a stated deadline, and says that the private key will be deleted and unavailable for recovery if the deadline passes. If the deadline is not met, the malware offers to decrypt data via an online service provided by the malware's operators, for a significantly higher price in Bitcoin.

Although CryptoLocker itself is readily removed, files remain encrypted in a way which researchers have considered infeasible to break. Many say that the ransom should not be paid, but do not offer any way to recover files; others say that paying the ransom is the only way to recover files that had not been backed up.

Ok so What's the bottom line check the links below?

(From: SOPHOS)

(From: US-CERT)

1).  CryptoLocker.
This is a Criminal & Extortionary  Weapon.             Be Aware $300 Ransom Fee!
Picture
Malwarebytes 1st CryptoLocker Screen Capture
"This infection is typically spread through emails sent to company email addresses that pretend to be customer support related issues from Fedex, UPS, DHS, etc. These emails would contain a zip attachment that when opened would infect the computer. These zip files contain executables that are disguised as PDF files as they have a PDF icon and are typically named something like FORM_101513.exe or FORM_101513.pdf.exe. Since Microsoft does not show extensions by default, they look like normal PDF files and people open them.When CryptoLocker was first released, it was being distributed by itself. Newer malware attachments appear to be Zbot infections that then install the CryptoLocker infection."

How do I protect myself against ransomware?

  "Despite its threatening nature, ransomware is still a type of malware. We recommend the same tips to help keep any malware out of your PC:
  • Install and use an up-to-date antivirus solution.
  • More info on Free Antivirus Software here.
  • Make sure your software is up-to-date (here's a short list of common software)
  • Keep you Microsoft Windows Patching up to date.
  • Don't click on links or open attachments from un-trusted sources
Some ransomware may leave your PC or files in an unusable state. We recommend you regularly backup your important files.  This will cover you in the event your PC dies, or is lost, or stolen. You can do this with a cloud storage service such as OneDrive, which is now fully integrated into Windows  and Microsoft Office".

If you back up to other usb drives do not leave them connected to your PC.   Scan them for virus /malware /ransomware and then store them.
   CryptoLocker looks for any connected,  or   mapped drive for data to encrypt, this includes flash & even cloud drives that have been mapped for easy access. This trojan horse ramsomware especially targets businesses with networked shared drives.


As people order more and more, on line with FedEx, UPS, DHS, USPS ect., and doing online banking.
  • Only use valid links to check the status of your shipped package and access to your banking accounts.
 Example 1.  Amazon ships your package,
1. Amazon then provides you a link to check your package shipment status within Amazon.  Login to your Amazon account to check it.. 
2. Copy the tracking number that Amazon has provided.  Go directly to the shippers tracking site and paste their tracking number in at their site.  This way you won't be clicking on a email link.

Example 2. Banking accounts and other accounts.
Always remember; Your bank , and other accounts, know your name. If you receive a message  along this line saying and in the body of the message.

Dear _______________  Customer  we have had a server error and need you to update your data please click the link in this e-mail or open the attachment provided. 

Do not click or open. this is some sort of attack.
Go Directly to your bank's website to do your banking or check your information.
It should read something like this
Dear  Your Name .......

  • If in doubt delete the e-mall and contact the business directly.
These things slow you down but are a help in keeping you safer.
  • *And don't forget to use your faith, do your part along with GOD doing HIS part.
  • Check out this link to learn more about Email and Web Scams, and  How to recognize them.

Take a little time and watch these Video(s), at lest the 1st one.
Scammers and attackers educate themselves. You should too!
