Warning: fake emails Ziggo

Criminals send the last few weeks a lot of fake emails that are supposedly from Ziggo.

It is not known how many people have actually been the victim of computer hostage.

The perpetrators use a variant of ransomware called Torrent Locker. The group behind the kidnapping software abused two years ago, the company generated name for a similar action. That fake email guided people to a site where they could supposedly see whether an order was already underway.

Torrent Locker hostage not only the computer, but at the same time stealing address books of his victims. At any given infection perpetrators so data from other people that they can con. Therefore, the mail campaign is growing rapidly.
