HACKED
When a local mid-sized company had a complete network
meltdown after being breached by an undetected malware infection,
IV4 stepped in.
Working round-the-clock the weekend before Christmas, IV4
engineers had the organization back up and running 3 days later.
HOW CRYPTOLOCKER WORKS
User receives spammed
message with malicious
attachment
Once downloaded, the malwareinfected system phones home to
its botnet controller
Malware encrypts data on all
connected drives and mapped
network shares
Ransom message is
displayed, stating the
deadline and the amount
ZERO DAY MALWARE INFECTION
In this case, the malware was an unknown computer virus meaning
antivirus software signatures did not exist.
IV4 was the first to identify
the undetected Cryptolocker
malware.
IV4 contacted Symantec and
Webroot and requested patches
for the malware.
Patches have now been rolled out globally.
