Criminals behind CryptoWall 3.0 Made $325 Million

Security researchers of the Cyber Threat Alliance have conducted an investigation into the cybercriminal operations leveraging CryptoWall 3.0 ransomware. The most recent variant of the CryptoWall ransomware emerged in-the-wild beginning in January 2015. This ransom is usually paid in Bitcoin, with a (sometimes empty) promise of providing a decryption utility in order to recover all affected files, as a result of a successful, cleared ransom payment. Over 400,000 infection attempts have been logged across 49 campaigns, with over 4,000 samples of the malware.”]
