Posted on 10.03.2015 Cyber crooks' love for ransomware continues unabated, and user are warned about several active campaigns trying to deliver the malware on target computers.

The campaigns have been set up to distribute different ransomware families. The most well-known and well-documented of these is TorrentLocker. The other two are called CryptoFortress and BandaChor.

The latter is not new - in fact, it was first spotted in November 2014. But lately, the malware is again being delivered via email and possibly also via exploit kits.
