Cryptolocker

The current news is full of reports of a nasty ransomware trojan making the rounds called Cryptolocker.  It shows up as an email attachment, and if the user runs the attachment, the malware will encrypt files and demand payment to decrypt them.  The only way to clean this mess up is to revert to any backups you might have, and if you don't have backups, you will probably lose your data.

This sort of malware makes me angry.  And when I get angry, I want to rap!

Cryptolocker

If you see and click a link that's sittin' in your mailbox
The love for your computer will be dashin' on the rocks
You never gonna get all of your data stuff back
'Cause you have fallen victim to a phishing attack!

Cryptolocker gonna get ya', Cryptolocker gonna play.
Cryptolocker got your files, and it won't give them away.
Cryptolocker done encryptin', Cryptolocker walkin' tall.
Cryptolocker want your money, gonna make you take the fall.

Like runnin' ancient Java: you got scissors in your hand,
You're running down a hallway like you late for somethin' grand,
But bullies gonna see you, and they gonna trip you up.
Things will get all stabby when there's Java in your cup.

Cryptolocker gonna get ya', Cryptolocker gonna play.
Cryptolocker got your files, and it won't give them away.
Cryptolocker done encryptin', Cryptolocker walkin' tall.
Cryptolocker want your money, gonna make you take the fall.

Or if you running Flashy or Adobe Acrobat:
It's gonna get all mashy when see what's up with dat.
If your compy still be runnin' wit' the cycles that they hog
You'll end up hacked and broken, and you'll be a botnet's cog.

Cryptolocker gonna get ya', Cryptolocker gonna play.
Cryptolocker got your files, and it won't give them away.
Cryptolocker done encryptin', Cryptolocker walkin' tall.
Cryptolocker want your money, gonna make you take the fall.
