BlackByte, too, has launched a website, but according to the researchers, the threat of data exfiltration and leaks is groundless &#8212; as the ransomware does not appear to have this functionality in the first place. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, more victims may pay up after infection, even if there is no actual risk of information becoming public.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>BlackByte&#8217;s encryption process also reveals that unskilled threat actors may be at work. The malware downloads and executes the same key to encrypt files in AES, rather than unique keys for each session, such as those usually employed by sophisticated ransomware operators.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>If the key cannot be downloaded from its HTTP server &#8212; hidden in a file called forest.PNG &#8212; the ransomware program simply crashes. An RSA key is used once to encrypt the &#8216;raw&#8217; key to show a ransom note.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To decrypt a file, one only needs the raw key to be downloaded from the host,&#8221; Trustwave says. &#8220;As long as the .PNG file it downloaded remains the same, we can use the same key to decrypt the encrypted files.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Aside from this odd encryption process, the malware utilizes a JavaScript launcher designed to decrypt the main .NET DLL payload.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The ransomware is executed into memory, and a victim ID is assigned using the vulnerable PC&#8217;s processor ID and volume serial number, which are then hashed and pinged to the malware&#8217;s command-and-control (C2) server. Any process which could prevent file encryption is terminated, and the SetThreadExecutionState API is used to stop the machine from entering a sleep state.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>In addition, volume shadow copies are wiped, Windows restore points are deleted, and network discovery is enabled. BlackByte also has worm-like capabilities similar to those employed by Ryuk, and it will try to propagate itself across available networks.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Trustwave has made a BlackByte decryptor available for download <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/SpiderLabs\/BlackByteDecryptor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">at GitHub<\/a>.
