VERY IMPORTANT

A new ransomware called CryptoLuck has been discovered by Proofpoint security researcher and exploit kit expert Kafeine that is being distributed via the RIG-E exploit kit. While it has become common to see new ransomware variants being distributed daily, it is not as common to find new ransomware infections being distributed via exploit kits. Seeing this type of activity typically indicates that a particular ransomware will see much wider distribution and thus a larger amount of victims.
