Mexican MlourdesHReloaded virus (need to recover data)

June 9th, 2004, 11:07

Hi

I received today a 80gb ntfs hard disk with all files and folders names untoutched, except that all of them have now 476 bytes in size, and the following string:

"Virus MlourdesHReloaded II ha atakdo esta computadora"
"Virus 100% Méxicano, no es muy peligroso que digamos"
"Pero tu has sido el rival más débil ¡Adios!"
"Saludos a Ana Paty de Sinaloa y a Gedzac Labs"
"Espero y se hallan pasado una feliz Navidad y un próspero año nuevo"
"Feliz 2004 para todos"
"Para mayor información enviar un e-mail a tips@esmas.com"
"donde hablamos de computación en tu idioma"
""
"*-Dime solo esta vez, que has pensado... solo esta vez -*"

I've checked and only pc-cilin makes reference to it as PE_WINDANG.B

In the link:

It is said that this virus will overwrite all files on the volume.

I found no way to restore my client data. I've tried the "standard" ways: Easy recovery, Getdataback, Media Tools, FinalData, Winhex raw Recovery"

Only Finaldata was capable of after 8 hours of cluster scan, retrieve some documents .DOC and .JPG. The client was an architect and had a lot of .3DS and .DWG files.

Also google searches return no more than a few links

Anyone have experience with this malware? Any chances of retrieving the data back?

Thanks to all of you,

-BR-
