CRYPT Ransomware

Although the CRYPT Ransomware doesn't exhibit any new threatening functionalities, it remains a powerful malware that can cause severe damage to the systems it infects. By running a strong encryption routine, the CRYPT Ransomware can render a large number of file types inaccessible. The CRYPT Ransomware is a new variant from the MedusaLocker Ransomware family.

Each affected file will have '.CRYPT' appended to its original name. In addition, after all targeted files have been locked, the threat will drop a file with instructions for its victims on the desktop of the breached machine. This ransom note will be contained inside a file named 'HOW_TO_RECOVER_DATA.html.'

CRYPT Ransomware's Demands

The note states that the victim's files have been locked with a combination of the RSA+AES cryptographic algorithms, making the restoration of the files without the decryption key held by the attackers nearly impossible. Furthermore, the attackers claim to have obtained highly confidential data from the infected system and the information is being stored on a private server. If victims refuse to cooperate and pay the asked ransom, the collected data will supposedly be released to the public or sold to interested parties.

To receive additional details, victims will have to either visit the dedicated site of the hackers hosted on the TOR network or contact the two email addresses mentioned in the note - 'support@novibmaker.com' and 'support@ypsotecs.com.' As part of their message, they also are allowed to attach up to 3 encrypted files. The hackers promise to decrypt and return these files for free.

The full text of the note is:
