New LooCipher Ransomware Spreads Its Evil Through Spam

A new ransomware called LooCipher has been discovered that is actively being used in the wild to infect users. It is pushing a malicious Word document called Info_BSV_2019.docm that asks you to enable macros to view the content. The ransomware will then begin to encrypt the files on the computer. The current ransom amount is 300 or approximately $330 USD. It has not been tested and it is not known if it is decryptable. The most important thing is to always have a reliable backup of your files.
