I read this article the other day, it's pretty scary means to spread the infection, but this virus doesn't really encrypt the files.
It uses a weird mechanism to scramble the data, which can be undone if you know what you're doing.
Of course, if you miss even a single file the whole thing could start over again.

It's not really "any communications channel". It's not phone, IM, XMPP, email, etc. It's just a file.
