Poop Ransomware Image

The Poop Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan. The Poop Ransomware uses a strong encryption algorithm to make the victim's files inaccessible, essentially taking them hostage. The Poop Ransomware then demands a ransom payment in exchange for restoring the data it has captured.

How the Poop Ransomware Attacks a Computer

The Poop Ransomware can be delivered in many ways, including corrupted spam email attachments or direct attacks on a device. Once the Poop Ransomware is installed, the Poop Ransomware runs a scan of the victim's computer, searching for the user-generated files. The Poop Ransomware uses the AES encryption to encrypt any file it finds, adding the file extension '.poop' to each file compromised by the attack. The Poop Ransomware targets the files below in this attack:

.jpg, .jpeg, .raw, .tif, .gif, .png, .bmp, .3dm, .max, .accdb, .db, .dbf, .mdb, .pdb, .sql, .dwg, .dxf, .cpp, .cs, .h, .php, .asp, .rb, .java, .jar, .class, .py, .js, .aaf, .aep, .aepx, .plb, .prel, .prproj, .aet, .ppj, .psd, .indd, .indl, .indt, .indb, .inx, .idml, .pmd, .xqx, .xqx, .ai, .eps, .ps, .svg, .swf, .fla, .as3, .as, .txt, .doc, .dot, .docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm, .docb, .rtf, .wpd, .wps, .msg, .pdf, .xls, .xlt, .xlm, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .xltm, .xlsb, .xla, .xlam, .xll, .xlw, .ppt, .pot, .pps, .pptx, .pptm, .potx, .potm, .ppam, .ppsx, .ppsm, .sldx, .sldm, .wav, .mp3, .aif, .iff, .m3u, .m4u, .mid, .mpa, .wma, .ra, .avi, .mov, .mp4, .3gp, .mpeg, .3g2, .asf, .asx, .flv, .mpg, .wmv, .vob, .m3u8, .dat, .csv, .efx, .sdf, .vcf, .xml, .ses, .qbw, .qbb, .qbm, .qbi, .qbr , .cnt, .des, .v30, .qbo, .ini, .lgb, .qwc, .qbp, .aif, .qba, .tlg, .qbx, .qby , .1pa, .qpd, .txt, .set, .iif, .nd, .rtp, .tlg, .wav, .qsm, .qss, .qst, .fx0, .fx1, .mx0, .fpx, .fxr, .fim, .ptb, .ai, .pfb, .cgn, .vsd, .cdr, .cmx, .cpt, .csl, .cur, .des, .dsf, .ds4, , .drw, .eps, .ps, .prn, .gif, .pcd, .pct, .pcx, .plt, .rif, .svg, .swf, .tga, .tiff, .psp, .ttf, .wpd, .wpg, .wi, .raw, .wmf, .txt, .cal, .cpx, .shw, .clk, .cdx, .cdt, .fpx, .fmv, .img, .gem, .xcf, .pic, .mac, .met, .pp4, .pp5, .ppf, .nap, .pat, .ps, .prn, .sct, .vsd, .wk3, .wk4, .xpm, .zip, .rar.

After encrypting the victim's data, the Poop Ransomware displays a pop-up window titled 'SYSTEM HACKED AND FILES ENCRYPTED.' This message alerts the victim of the attack and demands a ransom payment in Bitcoin that amounts to about USD 1,000 at the current exchange rate. The Poop Ransomware ransom note reads:

'Hello, Your computer has been encrypted with a High Level(Military Grade) AES-256 Bit encryption technique. To retrieve your files and information, I advise you don't bother hiring an IT guy to try because he will fail and we will expose all documents and personal information on your computer to blackmarket forums.
You better not test us.. xDDD
Here is a simple solution,
1) Sign up at www.telegram.org
2) Hit us in Telegram @CyberDexter
3) Send correct ammount of BTC below
4) Give us screenshot or link for your payment confirmation.
5) We will send your decryption code by reply between 1-4 hours after we confirm all.
You can consider your payment as donation to help feed the needy and less privileged. xDDDDD
Bitcoin address: 1K3YKBq8qGrnmJ7TKkLbTiGL59UHBYh7LF
Amount of BTC: 0.12277114'

What the Poop ransomware does is change the victim's wallpaper into one with the namesake substance on it, creating and dropping a text file named "READ_IT.txt" as well as opening a popup window.

Poop Ransomware also renames any affected files and appends them with the .poop extension. What is more, the ransomware also runs the Ranso process in the background of infected machines.

Both the popup and the text file state that the Poop Ransomware encrypts files with a 'military grade' encryption algorithm – AES 256. The victims are then warned against attempts to decrypt files through the use of third party tools or the people behind the Poop Ransomware will expose their encrypted files to criminals on dark web forums. The attackers instruct the victims to sign up to Telegram so they can contact Poop's developers through the @CyberDexter account on there. They claim this will allow the victims to purchase a decryption tool at the cost of 0.12277114 Bitcoin sent to the wallet address provided in the communication between both parties. As a proof of the transaction, victims are expected to send a screenshot of the transaction to the attackers.

Protecting Your Data from Threats Like the Poop Ransomware

The best protection against threats like the Poop Ransomware is to have the means to restore any data that becomes compromised by the attack. The threat R Ransomware is known to have an association with Poop Ransomware potentially from its creators being within the same group of cybercrooks and hackers. Computer users that avoid paying the Poop Ransomware ransom or contacting the criminals are taking the right decision because accepting the criminals' conditions only makes computer users more vulnerable to attacks and does not guarantee that the criminals will respond and restore the affected data. Having file backups is the best protection against threats like the Poop Ransomware.
