Should help narrow it down.
And we have a zero day flash being patched today. Expect a Microsoft
patch for Windows 8 and above.

So it could be the flash 0 day from an infected ad that wasn't
caught? Of course, he might not be remembering something...
It started working at around 8am this morning which is when he fired
up his computer in the office.

So, we just got hit with a Croptywall variant with SRP in place.
I didn't disbelieve you Susan, I was just hoping that we could
avoid infection until I got a true whitelisting solution in place.
Oh and I'm on vacation, so this is extra fun to restore backups
via the VPN. Luckily we have other systems in place that
mitigated the extent of damage, such as really good backups, and
tested restore procedures.

I have many consultant stories of ransomware nailing clients with
software restriction policies in place - especially the web
cocktail variants.
Applocker/whitelisting = Enterprise SKUs. Which I hardly ever see
in my space, nor does the customer base afford the time and effort.
Great if you have the budget to do it, sucks if you don't have the
licenses and infrastructure.

Restriction, not proper pixies.
Susan, I haven't seen an executable run in any location that
has been blocked by SRP. IF you have a very narrow whitelist,
it helps a lot.

You can also use proper pixies to restrict where software
can run. I've blocked the user profile folder and added an
exception for the desktop and a couple of other places
that I can't recall. Users have to move downloaded apps to
ther desktop to install. I haven't had a Cryptowall
infection in 2 years.

there's no silver bullet here.
Silverlight/flash/java. Use it,patch it or lose it.
Web filtering at the firewall. If your firewall
doesn't provide web filtering/UTM options it's time to
upgrade. Home users look at OpenDNS (yes even now
that Cisco is buying them)
Filter attachments/zips.
Least priv/non admin.
Block the app location (yes this impacts firefox and
office installs) Google foolishit for non domain or
cryptolocker group policy toolkit
Education to your users that that email you got isn't
a legit email.
