What is CryptoLocker?
This is a form of ransomware usually transferred by email. Typically as an attachment, which appears to have been sent by a legitimate company. The attack encrypts files on computer systems and forces them unresponsive unless usually a substantial ransom is paid to unlock.
Software protection is usually inadequate to protect from ransomware. The best protection is by careful examination of emails and attachments and by having constant reliable backups. The need to decrypt ransomware decreases as the backups can be restored.
