Duck Ransomware

The Duck Ransomware is a powerful malware threat, part of the Phobos Ransomware family. When executed on target computers, the threat will scan for files belonging to a wide range of different file types. Each matching file will be encrypted with a strong cryptographic algorithm, effectively rendering it completely unusable. Victims will no longer be able to open any of their documents, archives, databases, images, photos, etc.

All affected file types will be marked by having their original names modified drastically. The Duck Ransomware will first generate an ID string for each particular victim and add the corresponding ID to the names of the locked files. Then, an email address ('supprecovery@torguard.tg') will be added. Finally, '.duck' will be appended as a new file extension. Following the established Phobos behavior, the threat will deliver two ransom notes to the breached devices.

The shorter message will be placed inside a text file named 'info.txt.' There, affected users will simply find instructions to message two email addresses - 'supprecovery@torguard.tg' and 'samrecoveryfiles@onionmail.com,' or a Telegram account at '@supprecovery.' The main ransom note will be displayed in a pop-up window created from an 'info.hta' file. The cybercriminals state that they will only accept payments in Bitcoin. They also, supposedly, will decrypt up to 5 files for free. The only listed requirements are for the files to have a total size of less than 4MB and not to contain any valuable data.
