We had one confirmed case but that person was off campus at the time. We did
send out a campus wide email containing specifics for CryptoLocker and also
threw in the general ³don¹t open attachments or click links in suspicious
emails² at the end.

Is anyone taking any particular steps to inform and communicate the risks or
prevalence of Ransomware to your campus?
Did you use this opportunity to caution them to be deligent in general or
have provided them with specifics?  Thanks
