New ransomware alert! VERY sneaky and dangerous.

I'm posting this in the SONAR subforum because of the imminent nature of the threat and its potential for damage. Mods feel free to move this. I just didn't know where else to put it.
 
The following link is a ZDNet article published a couple of hours ago. It documents a serious new ransomware threat that comes via email and can attack even if you go off-line.

Thanks for sharing.
All the best.
