URGENT MALWARE ALERT:
                                INCREASING CRYPTOLOCKER TRAFFIC



                                AppRiver is currently seeing a lot of malicious email traffic containing
                                the Cryptolocker malware that can encrypt your business's data. The
                                bulk of this traffic is coming through trusted free file share programs
                                disguised as voicemail messages or faxes. AppRiver is blocking all
                                known variants of this traffic but the spammers are changing up the
                                messages rapidly. It is incredibly important that you let your users
                                know not to open unsolicited emails and download files without
                                confirming their sources. It's also important that you back up your files
                                frequently and, if you use a third-party back up system, make sure it
                                will not overwrite your backup with the encrypted files.

                                As a reminder, Cryptolocker is an especially destructive virus that will
                                encrypt all of your data. Cyber criminals then force you to pay to get
                                the data back, with no assurance they will actually follow through if you
                                do. For more information, please see this blog article:
