Yesterday we had a client call up in hysterics - only 24 hours left before CryptoLock is going to throw away the encryption keys - all data gone!

If interested, here are the screens she sent us http://imgur.com/a/EHBRb

Last night, we had a poke around the blockchain to see where the ransom monies flow. Here is the ransom address we were provided: https://blockchain.info/address/1M83NXYuPpjEjYt8baXYxriQNCDyfWU8i3

Ransom address is cleared out with this transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/c20079ca4a978a8b6eea1ba7fc2e3603b91dd73e34b7d381fa527d05ab3be375

The address where ransom is cleared to is interesting, to say the least...
https://blockchain.info/address/1AEoiHY23fbBn8QiJ5y6oAjrhRY1Fb85uc

Total Received 4,691.06798731 BTC and that is from 15-Oct-2013 to now. It's probably just one of a number of clearing/consolidation addresses.

These guys are probably making USD50,000,000 a year or more!

BTW - we calmed her down, eventually solved her problem. As a side note: the CryptoLock people need to dumb down the bitcoin thing - there must be hundreds of victims out there, like this lady, who've never even heard of bitcoin.

Even if you pay, you're only financing the next version.
P.S But if some guys need informations

must pay 100%
