File-encrypting Android ransomware ‘Simplocker’ targets English-speaking users

Malware that encrypts files stored on SD memory cards of Android devices has been updated to target English-speaking users with FBI-themed alerts. The malware app is called Simplocker and was first identified by security researchers from antivirus vendor ESET in early June. The original variant was indicative of a work in progress and displayed ransom notes exclusively in Russian. The new Simplocker version also encrypts archive files with the.zip,.7z andrar extensions. Users lose access to their documents and pictures, but they can’t restore them from backups stored on the same SD card.”]
