What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to the infected computer system in some way, and demands that the user pay a ransom to the malware operators to remove the restriction. Some forms of Ransomware systematically encrypt files on the system’s hard drive, which become difficult or impossible to decrypt without paying the ransom for the encryption key, while some may simply lock the system and display messages intended to coax the user into paying. Ransomware typically propagates as a trojan, whose payload is disguised as a seemingly legitimate file.

CryptoLocker has been observed sending zipped PDF files which are actually disguised .exe files.WildFire is able to look inside of zip files, and analyze unknown executables. Because it does not just looking at file name and hash value, variants of core versions are easily detected and blocked by policy.
