We’ve written several stories in the past about what is now being dubbed “ransomware”, Trojans which hold your files hostage for ransom, some of which was attributed to a security hole in Internet Explorer which let the ransom Trojan in.

The most recent article was just a few weeks ago, with the appearance of Trojan ransomware Ransom-A.

Now the password for one of the newest ransomware Trojans, “Archiveus”, has been discovered and is being made public.

The password for the Archiveus ransomware trojan is:
