A new kind of encryption Trojan named Petya is going around.

If you get an Email with a job application that is written in good English containing a dropbox link, better delete it! The only thing you might find in the dropbox is an. exe file that could do a lot of harm.

This Trojan doesn’t only encrypt the data but also the whole operating system. If you think you are infected do not restart the system so you might be able to rescue at least the Data. The trojan might force a restart by pretending having a bluescreen. Please switch off your computer instantly without shutting down because after a restart the encryption module starts working. Contact the system admin so he can check your PC with a bootable Antivirus-DVD.

So if you get job applications without expecting it don't click on any hyperlinks and don't open any attachments.
