Before the ransom can even be sent, affected users end up with inoperable devices and corrupted files. The earlier versions of the DMA Locker ransomware (detected by Trend Micro as RANSOM_MADLOCKER.B), too, has been known to crash during its encryption process. Left with unusable machines, victims couldn't see the ransom note, and have no other recourse to get their data back aside from back-ups, if there were any at all. BadBlock, for instance, encrypted not only the user’s personal files, but also Window system files needed to start the computer. This tab contains a form that a victim can use to contact the payment server operators in the event of a problem.”īugs and flaws in ransomware operations themselves are not new. In a sample provided by ’s Lawrence Abrams, a payment of 1.2 bitcoins-which was the original ransom amount demanded from a recent victim-showed up as completed in the UI, but is instead now asking for 2.4 bitcoins.Ībrams remarked, “probably because this group continues to have problems with their system, they have added a Helpdesk tab to the UltraDeCrypter payment site. To make matters worse, the timer, typically set to 90 hours, still keeps running and the ransom amount automatically gets doubled when it expires.

According to reports,the system was not properly recognizing payments made by victims, leaving them unable to download the “UltraDeCrypter” tool needed to unlock their kidnapped files. The malware’s authors seem to have hit another snag after its payment system was found to be faulty. To maximize their profit, the developers also added an information-stealing DLL malware (StillerX), collecting and pilfering the victim’s browser history, cookies, and credentials from email, FTP, IM, VPNs and proxies, remote administration software, poker gaming software, and Microsoft Credential Manager. crypt1 extension.ĬryptXXX 3.1, the latest iteration, gave the malware the capability to scan shared resources on the network and encrypt files stored on those drives.
It also made several design changes to the victim’s UI, ransom note, and payment website, as well as renaming its decryption tool to “UltraDecrypter.” Encrypted files are appended with a.

After two of its earlier versions were cracked by security experts, the ransomware’s developers updated it to CryptXXX 3.0, which implemented a stronger encryption algorithm to render free and publicly available decryption tools ineffective. Both ransomware have also been reported to be offering a ‘Help Desk’ and chat support to its victims.ĬryptXXX (detected as RANSOM_WALTRIX.C) ransomware, which was earlier reported to have been rebranded as UltraCrypter-recently underwent several major updates since its discovery in April. The Jigsaw ransomware (detected by Trend Micro as RANSOM_JIGSAW.A), well-known for periodically changing the image used for the ransom note, has again updated the infected system’s user interface (UI). CryptXXX ransomware is under the spotlight again following news that the decryption services on its payment website was not working properly.
