Lavasky Ransomware

Computers infected with the Lavasky Ransomware will be subjected to data encryption that will leave most of the files stored on them in an unusable state. The hurtful threat targets documents, DPFs, archives, databases, images and possibly many other file types. The strong cryptographic algorithm used for the encryption process ensures that victims will not be able to restore their data without assistance from the attackers. Analysis of the Lavasky Ransomware has confirmed that it is a variant from the VoidCrypt Ransomware family.

As part of its actions, Lavasky generates an ID string for the particular victims. This string will be appended to the names of all locked files. In addition, the threat will add an email address ('blackpirate@cock.li') and a new file extension ('.lavasky'). A ransom note will be dropped on the breached devices as a message contained inside a text file named 'unlock-info.txt.'

In their instructions, the operators of the Lavasky Ransomware state that they would only accept ransom payments made using the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. The exact value of the demanded ransom is not mentioned. For further details, victims are directed towards messaging the same 'blackpirate@cock.li' email address or a secondary account at 'coronav2020@cock.li.' The hackers mention that a single encrypted file could be unlocked for free as a demonstration. The chosen file must not exceed 1MB and should not have any important information.

The full text of the ransom note is:
