Plastic Nev Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 CryptorBit is another Ransomware and appears to be a spin off from the now well known Cryptolocker and was probably coded by someone not quite as clever as those who developed Cryptolocker, as CryptorBit is a much simpler code or program. It does appear to have encrypted files and folders, however not quite as heavily as Cryptolocker does and there are ways out without paying the ransom. More here from our friends at BC with instructions for decryption. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptorbit-ransomware-information Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?

KenB Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I have said this before - there are some very clever people out there. Create a piece of malware and wait for the cash to roll in. Take the first 512 bits of data from the file header and store it at the back of the file for renewal later - seemingly so simple. You have to take your hat off to the guys at Bleeping for finding a solution to this one. :) Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
