INT Ransomware

The INT Ransomware threat is designed specifically to lock the data of its victims. The malware threat runs an encryption routine with an uncrackable algorithm that will affect documents, photos, images, archives, databases and other file types stored on the breached devices. Infosec researchers have been able to confirm that the INT Ransomware is a variant of the previously identified ransomware family known as Makop.

The encrypted files also will have their original names modified significantly. The INT Ransomware will append to them a unique ID string, the 'integra2022@tutanota.com' email address, and '.INT' as a new file extension. The threatening tool also will create a text file named '+README-WARNING+.txt.' Inside this file is a ransom note with instructions for the victim.

The ransom-demanding message reveals that the operators of the INT Ransomware are willing to decrypt 2 files for free, as a way to demonstrate their ability to restore the data of their victims. However, the 2 chosen files must not contain important information and should not exceed 1 MB in size. To establish contact with the attackers, victims are left with two email addresses - 'integra2022@tutanota.com' and 'insomnia1986@tutanota.com.'

The full text of the ransom note is:
