Ntlock2 Ransomware

The Ntlock2 Ransomware goal is to infiltrate computers, lock the files stored there via an uncrackable encryption process, and then extort its victims for money. Each locked file will have '.ntlock2' added to its original name as a new extension. A ransom note will then be delivered to the system in the form of an Html file named 'HOW_TO_RECOVER_DATA.html.' Cybercriminals have created this new ransomware threat based on the MedusaLocker malware family.

Overview Of Ntlock2's Demands

Reading the note reveals that Ntlock2 uses a combination of the RSA and AES cryptographic algorithms in its encryption routine. It also warns that trying to rename, modify, or use third-party software products in an attempt to unlock the encrypted files could damage them permanently. The note doesn't mention the exact sum of the ransom so victims will have to contact the hackers for additional instructions. For that purpose, the note directs them towards a website hosted on the TOR network. If users are unable to access the webpage, they can initiate contact via two email addresses - 'ithelp@decorous.cyou' and 'ithelp@wholeness.business.' Up to 3 encrypted files can be attached and will then supposedly be unlocked for free.

The cybercriminals behind the Ntlock2 Ransomware threaten that, if their demands are not met, they will release sensitive data obtained from the compromised systems to the public or sell it to interested parties.
