Ransomware….

What is Ransomware?▪ A type of malware that attempts to extort money from a computer user by infecting and taking control of the victim machine or the files and documents stored on it.

▪ Types– Lock Screen Ransomware (link)– Encryption Ransomware (link)– Master Boot Record (MBR) Ransomware (link)

History (brief)▪ 1989 “AIDS” Trojan / PC Cyborg – Joseph Popp▪ 2005 “Prominent Vector” (Easy to decrypt)▪ 2006/mid RSA Encoding used (Hard to decrypt)▪ 2013 OS X Ransomware Found▪ 2014 – 2016– Crypto Locker– Cryptowall (v1, v2, v3)– Tesla Crypt (v1, v2, v3)– Locky

▪ End of 2015 Cryptowall v3 >$325 Million

History (brief)

“Where is it coming from?”▪ Phishing Attacks (Mass Messages / Snow Shoe)– Malicious Attachments– Macro Enabled Attachment▪ Macros Pull a Payload and execute the control inside of the document

▪ Malicious Links (Clicked)– User clinks on a malicious tailor domain link▪ Pop up (typically Java Script/or Flash Applet)▪ Will check to see if vulnerable – If not then custom “Update” linked to the payload/Crypto Installer

“I have to click on things right?”▪ NO….

▪ Malicious Links (Drive By)– Hugo Boss (Link)

▪ Attackers are purchasing miss spelled domains
