Ransomware out there for everyone.

Im reading tech articles today and I come across Ransomware Crypter Kit: eba2 (https://n0where.net/ransomware-crypter-kit-eda2/).   Im not so sure its good to put an aweosme ransomware on github for everyone to download and play with.  It just doesnt seem like an overall good idea.    You know people are going to take that and merge it with another exploit kit.  It also looks to be very very very fast at encrypting. 

I've delt with some Crytpolocker infections and they are not fun.  If you read through articles on the internet most of the suggestions is to backup, backup backup.  I like Norton's suggestions: install security software, update system software, install our product.   Keep trying Norton.  Krebs recommends:  Foolish It's Cyptoprevent, which as updated to deal with other ransomeware since the initial release of Cryptolocker.   Cryptoprevent looks like a decent solution but I havent tested it.   Till then backup, backup backup.
