PROTECTION FROM GAMEOVER ZEUS
NFDC ICT Services has made us aware of the information and advice that has been published by the National Crime Agency to combat the threat from powerful malicious software (malware). ICT Services already subscribe to measures which protect the Council’s network from vulnerabilities. However you might find the following information useful for your own personal computers.
The current threat is targeted at computers running any version of the Windows operating system, including Windows running as a virtual machine on an Apple Mac, any server running Windows and Windows embedded. It comes from two forms of malware, known as GOZeus (also known as Gameover Zeus or P2PZeus) and CryptoLocker, both of which could cause significant damage.
National Crime Agency believes that action it has taken to combat the threat will create a unique, two week opportunity for you to check, rid and safeguard yourself from this malware.
The advice given should be applied at all times – make sure your antivirus software, and firewall, and everything else that is designed to protect you is up to date, change your passwords regularly and never click on any links/attachments that you are unsure of.
There is further guidance and a set of links to tools that will check your computer for the presence of this malware <https://www.getsafeonline.org/nca/> published at
