New torrentlocker variant active in the Netherlands
Posted on October 15, 2014 by joostbijl

Introduction
The Netherlands was hit with a new spamrun designed to spread a cryptolocker variant known as torrentlocker from Monday October 13th 2014 onwards. Please note that torrentlocker appears to present itself to victims as cryptolocker in all cases. Fox-IT now receives multiple reports of new victims in the Netherlands and we are currently analyzing the new spamrun and malware that was subsequently used.

This blogpost is aimed at providing victims with advice on how to deal with the infections. It contains technical details that will help system administrators trace back the original infection, and contain the spread of the infection as much as possible. We will update this blog post as more information is available.

My advice would be to install Sandboxie, it's the best way to protect NOOBS.
