As a bitcoin value continuous its climb, now it is more than $800, the criminals behind cryptolocker ransomware have also come with up an idea to reduce the price for decrypting files to 0.5 Bitcoins.
Initially, the ransomware were asking victims to pay 2 Bitcoins as ransom in order to decrypt their files.
The victims who failed to pay the ransom within a particular time will be asked to use their decryption service if they want to get back their encrypted files. However, victims need to pay more than before.
The new variant of CryptoLocker ransomware spotted by F-Secure security team on November 20 is asking users to pay 0.5 Bitcoins instead.
