Protection against CryptoWall 4.0

Hi FortiGuard Fuse Members,

I have a customer who recently reached out to me to inquire about the latest variant of CryptoWall (4.0).  I know we recently released an article around our detection with CryptoWall 3.0, but is there any updated information regarding CryptoWall 4.0?

Here is some literature I found on the subject:

My customer is currently protected by a FortiGate (not inspecting SSL), FortiMail and FortiSandbox.  Is there any reassurance I can give him on our abilities to detect and mitigate this threat?

Thanks!

They can set app control to monitor and block I2P (Similar to Tor) traffic which is used by the malware as an overlay network.
