DMA Locker is a new version of the TeslaCrypt ransomware program that’s ready to take its place. The new version is distributed via Web-based drive-by download attacks that rely on exploit kits. The encryption routine now relies on a command-and-control server to generate unique public and private RSA keys for each infection. The malware will also encrypt files on network shares where the computer has write access, even if those shares have not been mapped locally to a drive letter. Performing regular backups to locations that are only temporarily accessible from the computer is very important.”]
