Out Now: A New Kind ransomware with its own spread program, it's probably the kind you don't want to encounter.
The malware was named "P Time” κλειδώνει αρχεία υπολογιστών με Windows χρησιμοποιώντας ισχυρή κρυπτογράφηση AES-256, μέχρι να πληρώσετε λύτρα ενός bitcoin (ή 780 δολάρια με την σημερινή ισοτιμία).
But this ransomware is somewhat different from the others.
The lock screen will allow you to unlock your files the “ugly way.” You will have to connect with two other people who obviously don't like you. If they get infected and pay, then the original victim will get one for free key decryption.
Infected users have seven days to pay the ransom in bitcoin in an anonymous wallet.
According to one Publication, the ever-evolving source codes shows that if a victim enters the decryption code a little late, the ransomware will permanently lock the files.
Ransomware got new version this week to encrypt more files: documents, images, music, folders desktop, as well as dozens of file extensions.
A series of screenshots released by MalwareHunterTeam, which discovered ransomware, show that criminals have a "good intention"
They say the money "will be used for food, medicine and shelter for those in need" in Syria.
"We are extremely saddened that we are forcing you to pay, but that is the only way we can survive.", reports the ransomware.
