The Security Mentor

Bad guys keep running a scam in which they encrypt your data and demand money in exchange for the key to decrypt it.

There's a recent Trojan Horse called Archiveus that does this. Nobody seems to know how you get it.

Antivirus firm Sophos is getting the credit for taking the nasty software apart and finding out what magic sequence of letters and numbers you have to type in to get your data back. It's the gibberish in the subject line.

Odds are you won't need this information: restoring from backup works just as well, and the malware doesn't seem to have spread widely.
