content: PSA - Locky ransomware on the rise A relatively new strain of ransomware (first sighted in February of  this year) is gaining in popularity, spreading through emailed .zip files and document fiels with macros. Be wary, I witnessed an infection firsthand today, and the email in question came from the domain of the highschool where I work part time, so whoever is spreading it is somewhat crafty. As always, back your shit up, airgap said backups, and don't open spam. For those of you who manage computers, remind your users of safe email practice.
