Now hackers fake a Windows Update to lock your PC files

摘要

Ransomware hackers have developed a sly new tactic - using a fake Windows Update screen to disguise the fact that they are busy locking all your files. Discovered by AVG's Jakub Kroustek, the 'Fantorri ransomware claims that it is carrying out a "critical" Windows update. The crooks behind this contemptible con have tried to make it look believable by adding a Microsoft 'copyright' line, and by showing what percentage of the update is complete.
