Neue Ransomware "PowerWare" ahmt "Locky" nach

Palo Alto Networks deckt Parallelen auf und ermöglicht Entschlüsselung

(PresseBox) (München, )
Die Malware-Analyseabteilung von Palo Alto Networks hat eine neue Variante von PowerWare entdeckt, die auch als PoshCoder bekannt ist und die gefürchtete Ransomware-Familie Locky nachahmt. PoshCoder verschlüsselt seit 2014 Dateien mit PowerShell. Die neue Variante namens PowerWare wurde im März 2016 entdeckt. Die Malware verschlüsselt die Dateien auf den Rechner ihrer Opfer und verlangt eine Lösegeldzahlung mit der Kryptowährung Bitcoin.

Neben der Verwendung der Dateinamenerweiterung „.locky“ für verschlüsselte Dateien, nutzt diese PowerWare-Variante den gleichen Erpresserbrief wie die Malware-Familie Locky. Dies ist nicht das erste Mal, das PowerWare andere Malware-Familien imitiert: Frühere Versionen nutzten den Erpresserbrief von CryptoWall.
