Did You Know?
Jasper_The_RaspA good article including an interview with Webroots very own Tyler Moffitt.
July 18, 2014
"However, Tyler Moffitt, a threat research analyst at the security firm Webroot, argued in a blogpost yesterday that the FBI’s claims are dubious and that CryptoLocker remains in use. In particular, the FBI’s belief “that Cryptolocker has been neutralized by the disruption and cannot communicate with the infrastructure used to control the malicious software,” overlooks an important reality."
Kudos to Tyler Moffitt!
