These included encrypting files, deploying a Telegram bot that communicated with the threat actor\u2019s chatbot ID, displaying the fake Windows update UI, and installing ransom notes as Read Me files and wallpaper.<\/p>\n<p>The executable responsible for the Telegram bot, teleratserver.exe, was a 64-bit Python-compiled binary that accepted the commands \u201cstart\u201d, \u201chelp\u201d, \u201cscreenshot\u201d and \u201cmessage\u201d to communicate between the victim and the threat actor via the messaging app.<\/p>\n<p>A second sample of Big Head analyzed by Trend Micros included additional data stealing capabilities. It deployed WorldWind Stealer malware to collect a range of data including browsing history of all available browsers, lists of directories and running processes, a replica of drivers, and a screenshot of the screen after running the malware.<\/p>\n<p>A third sample included Neshta, a virus-distributing malware that inserts malicious code into executable files.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncorporating Neshta into the ransomware deployment can also serve as a camouflage technique for the final Big Head ransomware payload,\u201d the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis technique can make the piece of malware appear as a different type of threat, such as a virus, which can divert the prioritization of security solutions that primarily focus on detecting ransomware.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Clues to the malware\u2019s creators<\/h2>\n<p>While the identity of the group behind Big Head remains a mystery, Trend Micro discovered some details including a YouTube channel apparently run by the threat actor, and a Telegram username.<\/p>\n<p>The malware terminates itself if the system language of a potential target matches the Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Armenian, Georgian, Tatar, or Uzbek country codes, suggesting the threat actor had ties to the former Soviet states now united as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/ransomware\/ransomware-that-avoids-russian-speakers-get-90-of-ransoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Commonwealth of Independent States<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s YouTube channel, which includes demonstrations of malware used by the threat actors, has the username \u201caplikasi premium cuma cuma\u201d, meaning \u201cpremium application for free\u201d in Bahasa, the official language of Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it is possible, we can only speculate on any connection between the ransomware and the countries that use the said language,\u201d the Trend Micro researchers said.<\/p>\n<h2>The value of finding them early<\/h2>\n<p>While the group\u2019s malware suggests a level of experience, their actions \u2013 including running a YouTube channel devoid of any evidence they have carried out any successful attacks \u2013 indicates \u201cthey might not be sophisticated actors as a whole,\u201d the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a technical point of view, these malware developers left recognizable strings, used predictable encryption methods, or implement[ed] weak or easily detectable evasion techniques, among other \u2018mistakes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Discovering Big Head when the ransomware was still being developed and prior to any successful attacks or infections was \u201ca huge advantage for security researchers and analysts,\u201d the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnalysis and reporting of the variants provide an opportunity to analyze the codes, behaviors, and potential vulnerabilities. This information can then be used to develop countermeasures, patch vulnerabilities, and enhance security systems to mitigate future risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trend Micro has posted a list of <a
