Abstract

“ In a recent blog we talked about Trojan.Ransomlock.K and the use of a control panel on a command-and-control (C&C) server which gave it the ability to serve localized social engineering messages to victims depending on their IP location. While at that time we had not yet encountered a crimeware kit for this threat, we have since seen it for sale on Russian underground forums. As seen in Figure 1, below, the ransomware crimeware kit is being sold under the name of Silence Of winLocker
