New Cryptowall Ransomware Makes Locked Files Even Harder to Recover

ZDnet

Cryptowall, the now-infamous encryption malware that locks files for ransom, has been updated.

The ransomware, which upon install encrypts files making it almost impossible to regain access, now scrambles file names making it even harder for victims to know which files are which. System restore points are also erased, taking away the option of returning to a previously saved state.
