Victims of a recently uncovered form of ransomware are being warned not to pay the ransom demand, simply because the ransomware isn’t able to decrypt files \u2013 it just destroys them instead. <\/p>\n

Coded in Python, Cryptonite ransomware<\/a> first appeared in October as part of a free-to-download open-source toolkit \u2013 available to anyone with the skills required to deploy it in attacks against Microsoft Windows systems, with phishing attacks<\/a> believed to be the most common means of delivery.  <\/p>\n

But analysis of Cryptonite by cybersecurity researchers at Fortinet<\/a> has found that the ransomware only has “barebones” functionality and doesn’t offer a means of decrypting files at all, even if a ransom payment is made. <\/p>\n

Also: <\/strong>Cybersecurity: These are the new things to worry about in 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, Cryptonite effectively acts as wiper malware<\/a>, destroying the encrypted files, leaving no way of retrieving the data. <\/p>\n

But rather than this being an intentionally malicious act of destruction by design, researchers suggest that the reason Cryptonite does this is because the ransomware has been poorly put together.  <\/p>\n

A basic design and what’s described as a “lack of quality assurance” means the ransomware doesn’t work correctly because a flaw in the way it’s been put together means if Cryptonite crashes or is just closed, it leaves no way to recover encrypted files. <\/p>\n

There’s also no way to run it in decryption-only mode \u2013 so every time the ransomware is run, it re-encrypts everything with a different key. This means that, even if there was a way to recover the files, the unique key probably wouldn’t work \u2013 leaving no way to recover the encrypted data. <\/p>\n

“This sample demonstrates how a ransomware’s weak architecture and programming can quickly turn it into a wiper that does not allow data recovery,” said Gergely R\u00e9vay, security researcher at Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs. <\/p>\n

“Although we often complain about the increasing sophistication of ransomware samples, we can also see that oversimplicity and a lack of quality assurance can also lead to significant problems,” he added. <\/p>\n

It’s the victim of the ransomware attack that feels those problems, as they’re left with no means of restoring their network \u2013 even if they’ve made a ransom payment.  <\/p>\n

The case of Cryptonite ransomware also serves as a reminder that paying a ransom is never a guarantee that the cyber criminals will provide a decryption key, or if it will work properly.   <\/p>\n

Cyber agencies, including CISA, the FBI and the NCSC, recommend against paying the ransom<\/a> because it only serves to embolden and encourage cyber criminals, particularly if they can acquire ransomware at a low cost or for free. <\/p>\n

The slightly good news is that it’s now harder for wannabe cyber criminals to get their hands on Cryptonite, as the original source code has been removed from GitHub. <\/p>\n

In addition to this, the simple nature of the ransomware also means that it’s easy for antivirus software<\/a> to detect \u2013 so it’s recommended antivirus software is installed and kept up to date. <\/p>\n
