Teslacrypt

["Gayford, Matthew C." <gayfordm () UNCW EDU>]

We have had a few reports recently of computers on campus becoming infected with TeslaCrypt 
(https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Exploit+kits+still+pushing+Teslacrypt+ransomware/19581/). Has anyone else seen this 
infection as of late? Apparently it aggressively targets saved games and configuration files on the infected machine. I 
am wondering if there are any preventative measures that could counter this threat. We have been promoting regular 
backups and safe browsing habits.

Thanks,
-Matt
