Ransomware hits Office 365

Ransomware has now propagated to Office 365. Over the past couple of weeks, a virus known as Cerber effectively compromised an estimate 57% of Office 365 users. The virus encrypted files on the end user’s workstation using an unbreakable algorithm and then held the decryption key ransom for at least $500. This has been seen frequently recently, but this is the first known time that the infection has compromised such a large percentage of users on such a common platform such as Office 365.
