A new file-encrypting ransomware has been released that is going by the infamous CryptoLocker name. Though this infection is using the same name as the CryptoLocker ransomware that was released in 2013, it should be noted that is not the same infection nor is it from the same developer. When installed, this new CryptoLocker ransomware will encrypt all of your data files and rename them with a .encrypted extension. It will then display a ransom note on how you can purchase a decrypter for your files. This infection is requiring a ransom of 1.8 BTC in order to download and retrieve the decrypter. With this particular infection they are posting the exchange rate in AUD rather than USD, which may mean it is targeting Australian residents.
