Cantopen Ransomware

Computer users should be on the lookout for another malware threat classified as ransomware. This particular threatening program is tracked by infosec researchers as the Cantopen Ransomware, and it uses an asymmetric RSA encryption algorithm to scramble the data of its victims. As a result, almost all of the files found on the breached devices will be encrypted and rendered unusable.

Affected users will notice that their documents, PDFs, images, photos, archived, databases, etc., have all had '.cantopen' added to their original names as a new extension. In addition, the threat also will create a new text file to host its ransom note with instructions from the attackers. The name of this file is 'HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt.'

Cantopen Ransomware's Demands

Reading the provided ransom note reveals that the hackers responsible for spreading the Cantopen Ransomware want to receive a ransom of exactly $500. However, they would only accept payment in Bitcoin, the most widely recognized cryptocurrency. The funds are supposed to be transferred to the crypto-wallet address found in the ransom note.

Affected users also are instructed to send a single encrypted file to the hackers to test their ability to restore all of the locked data. The file can be sent alongside a message to the email address specified in the note - 'CCWhite@onionmail.org.'

The full set of instructions delivered by Cantopen Ransomware is:
