Cryptowall 4 Infection Website Compromised from Nuclear Exploit Kit (HELP_YOUR_FILES.PNG)

Until last week it appeared that Cryptowall 4 infection was only being seen from emails carrying the payload. It now appears it is also being delivered by websites compromised by the Nuclear Exploit Kit. The Nuclear EK operates by exploiting vulnerabilities in Java, Acrobat Reader, Flash, and Silverlight so it's essential that you have your PC fully patched up to date.



Cryptowall 4 is now being found in the wild delivered by hacked websites. If you find your files on your drives are encrypted and the file names are also encrypted then it's highly likely that you have been infected by Cryptowall 4 ransomware. You can see the file HELP_YOUR_FILES.PNG will be stored in the folder with all the encrypted files. Other help files may be HELP_YOUR_FILES.HTML, HELP_YOUR_FILES.TXT.





Even visiting an apparently innocuous website may lead to your PC being infected IF you have software that has vulnerabilities such as Adobe Flash. Even fairly recent versions from August 2015 are still vulnerable to infection.

Fake Email Toll IPEC invoice/statement (80458249)

Yet another email spam with faked sender. This is not a genuine email about tolls and should be deleted. It also contains a pXLS file attachment which appears to be a mistake or to trick virus scanners into allowing it through.


Toll IPEC invoice/statement (80458249)


Please find attached your current Toll IPEC invoice/statement..

Should you have a query with your account, please contact the telephone number detailed on your invoice/statement or email your enquiry to ipecar@tollgroup.com

DoT Payment Receipt XLS Email Spam

The latest email spam/virus has a subjedct line of "DoT Payment Receipt" with an attachment of PaymentReceipt.XLS. As with all of these types of email it isn't sent by the Dept of Transport, the email sender address has been faked to appear that it's sent by DoT to give authenticity to the email.


The attachment contains a virus/malware that will try to install a banking stealer trojan on your PC. DO NOT open the attachment and if you have we'd strongly recommend a complete virus scan repeated over a few days to ensure any new variants are detected.
Often these viruses are not detected on the first day that they are discovered.
