|Abstract=Earlier today, while doing our daily data mining, we came across a new variant of ZeuS 2.x. It includes a new backdoor command called: win_unlock. Very interesting, turns out this slightly modified ZeuS 2.x includes a ransomware feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this particular variant is executed, it opens Internet Explorer with a specific page (lex.creativesandboxs.com/locker/lock.php) and prevents the user from doing anything else with the infected system. The webpage that was opened presumably showed some type of extortion message, but it&amp;#039;s currently unavailable because the site is offline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most straightforward way to unlock the system is to simply delete the trojan. This can be a bit tricky since the trojan prevents doing anything with the infected system, luckily the locking itself can be easily disabled first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the code that corresponds with a received win_unlock command, it&amp;#039;s clear the unlock information is stored to the registry.&lt;br /&gt;
