Toy makers website pushed growing CryptXXX ransomware threat

U.S. toy maker Maisto.com was infected with malicious JavaScript that loaded the Angler exploit kit. This is a Web-based attack tool that installs malware on users’ computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in their browser plug-ins. If the attack successfully exploits a browser vulnerability, it then installs a malware dropper called Bedep, which in turn installs the CryptXXX ransomware. The malware also acts like an information-stealing Trojan that steals log-in credentials from browsers, instant messaging applications, FTP clients and email clients.”]
