Brief Introduction of Locky Ransomware

Locky is a new ransomware that has recently been released (most probably) by the Dridex gang. It is usually delivered via malicious e-mail attachment in a phishing campaign. And the email attachment usually arrives as a Word document, but could also be an Excel document, that appears to be an invoice. Besides, the locky infection – namely Ransom:Win32/Locky.A – can be also downloaded by the malicious Trojan downloaders like TrojanDownloader:O97M/Bartallex, TrojanDownloader:BAT/Locky.A, TrojanDownloader:JS/Locky.A.
