On the back of Cryptolocker?s (Trojan.Cryptolocker) perceived success, malware authors have been turning their attention to writing new ransomcrypt malware. The sophisticated CryptoDefense (Trojan.Cryptodefense) is one such malware. CryptoDefense appeared in late February 2014 using the Bitcoin addresses provided by the malware authors for payment of the ransom and looking at the publicly available Bitcoin blockchain information, it can be estimated that this malware earned cybercriminals over $34,000 in one month alone (according to Bitcoin value at time of writing).
