Ubuntu

ransomware attack

Asked by clayton clent

I just had firefox "blocked" by ransomware displaying the AFP ( Australian Federal Police ) and ICSPA logos. The ICSPA website ( I wonder if it is the real one? ) states that these attacks are due to Trojan.Urausy.A. Any suggestions on my next step. My browser is working again.

Trojan.Urausy.A does not run on Ubuntu Linux. In theory it could run in wine. But it would not start automatically or do anything to Firefox outside of the wine environment.
