Abstract
“ Ransomware continuously evolves and updates its social engineering tactics to trick users into paying money to the cybercriminals.
The samples we’re seeing today not only leverage the Federal Bureau of Investigation (or any police authority for that matter), but on this occasion also use a non-malicious .MP3 file!
This audio file repeatedly informs users that their system is blocked because of a certain violation on the federal law they committed. In addition, to unlock the system, users need to pay $200 (USD). Trend Micro detects this as TROJ_RANSOM.CXB and TROJ_RANSOM.AAF.
