Encryption Trojans, what are they? This is a specific family of malicious software (malware). Files on the owner’s computer and on connected network drives are encrypted and therefore unusable for the user. The user is shown a “lock screen” and is asked to pay a certain amount in bitcoins (Internet currency) to the attackers so that the files can be decrypted again. The blackmailing malware is constantly expanding and the more recent versions have a much greater potential for damage than the first versions, which only block the screen without damaging the data. The main gateways for such encryption Trojans are infected e-mails and hacked websites.
