A new ransomware called VCrypt is targeting French victims by utilizing the legitimate 7zip command-line program to create password-protected archives of data folders. Ransom note is written in French and tells the user to visit a web page to learn how to get their files back. When the malware is started, the malware will also launch Internet Explorer and display a ransom note named help.html. It is not known how much the attackers are asking in the ransom, so it is unclear how the ransomware is being distributed.
