Threat Database Ransomware Zareus Ransomware

Zareus Ransomware

Cybercriminals are targeting the private data of computer users with a new malware threat tracked as ZareuS Ransomware. The threat utilizes a sufficiently strong cryptographic algorithm to lock the files stored on the infected devices. Impacted users will find themselves unable to access nearly all of their documents, databases, archives, photos, audio and video files, and possibly more. Upon locking a file, ZareuS will append a new file extension - '.ZareuS,' to that file's original name. In addition, victims of the threat will notice the presence of a new text file on the breached machines. The file will be named 'HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt' and its role is to deliver a ransom note from the threat actors.

Reading the ransom-demanding message reveals that ZareuS uses the asymmetric RSA algorithm. As the note states, without having the necessary private key, it will be virtually impossible to restore the locked files. In order to provide this key to their victims, the attackers demand to be paid a ransom of $980. The money must be sent as Bitcoins to the cryptowallet address mentioned in the note. After receiving the payment, the threat actors promise to send back a decryption software tool. As a potential communication channel, the note provides a single email address at 'Lock-Ransom@protonmail.com.'

The full set of instructions left by ZareuS Ransomware is:

Oops All Of your important files were encrypted Like document pictures videos etc..

Don't worry, you can return all your files!
All your files, documents, photos, databases and other important files are encrypted by a strong encryption.

How to recover files?
RSA is a asymmetric cryptographic algorithm, you need one key for encryption and one key for decryption so you need private key to recover your files. It’s not possible to recover your files without private key.
The only method of recovering files is to purchase an unique private key.Only we can give you this key and only we can recover your files.

What guarantees you have?
As evidence, you can send us 1 file to decrypt by email We will send you a recovery file Prove that we can decrypt your file

Please You must follow these steps carefully to decrypt your files:
Send $980 worth of bitcoin to wallet: js97xc025fwviwhdg53gla97xc025fwv
after payment,we will send you Decryptor software
