How To Protect Yourself From the Latest CTB-Locker Campaign
Summary: Unit 42 detailed a new CTB-Locker ransomware campaign in which crimeware groups encrypt files on victim endpoints and demand payment to restore them. The post states that legacy security products will not protect enterprise networks from this campaign and that the guidance it offers is a temporary measure.
What's compelling: Unit 42 frames the response as a temporary fix in an ongoing cat-and-mouse game, and its recommended long-term answer is upgrading to its own next-generation platform - so the practical question for a security leader is whether current endpoint controls actually stop this campaign or only document it.
