Nemucod malware spreads ransomware Teslacrypt

From time to time, some malware propagation campaigns reach high propagation levels in one or several countries during a few days. In those cases, the users are specially vulnerable if they don’t protect their systems properly.

We have seen one of these scenarios during last week, when we observed a huge increase in detections of the Nemucod trojan, a threat that usually tries to download another malware from the internet. Those detections ratios were very high in some countries but also globally, and could indicate a campaign that is not focused on one country in particular but trying to affect as many users as possible throughout the world.
