Virus Encrypt all your data into a BACKUP caled file

October 9th, 2014, 11:01

Hi Gurus!

Are you see any similar case.
I have here a drive that have been hacked by malware similar to CryptoBit.
Malware has deleted all important info from Drive and created a file called "BACKUP" 40GBs.
Virus has created a File into destop folders too that says:



Hello,
I crypted all your important data
I stored the crypted data in your hard disk.
If you want to become your data back, send me an email containing your ip adress.
Your ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
e-mail : serverlock@yandex.com


Have you see this problem?
any way to resolve it?

This is the new Generation of viruses/malware

(ctb-locker)

Still new, no cure

Forgot to mention that this new malware uses TOR network communication
which makes it DIFFICULT to trace not like the other OLDER Bitcoin Locker

so for everybody, Monitor your TOR network activity.

good luck

Have not dealt with that version... yet. Did you try SHADOWEXPLORER? Some of the latest crypto viruses have not eliminated the shadow copies.

How much is the extortion?
Depending on the value of data, and problems it causes for the length of time there is n o solution.. maybe some would pay it for the chance of the criminals decrypting.

But there are less malware groups actually decrypting or sending key because it is more contact (unnecessary for them) to get tracked.

Not enough is being done about this. But on the same token, what CAN be done about it? The current internet ecology favours them. We cant even shut down a C&C Server if we find it because it could easily be the local MRI XP PC at a hospital, as it could be in some scumbags basement.

Brutal!!! They are getting better and better. Hopefully client can be patient until this version is solved. Paying a crook is certain to cause this type of crime to grow and to be discouraged.

Would this be a job for the NSA? :P Imagine the public relations coup if they could actually do something useful and catch a real criminal instead of spying on Faecebook traffic.
