PureLocker: the unusual ransomware that encrypts servers
While we know who the victims of these ransomware attacks are, more often than not, the strain of malware used in the incidents remains unknown. PureLocker is a piece of ransomware that is being used in targeted attacks against company servers, and seems to have links with notorious cybercriminal groups. The source code of PureLocker offers some clues as to its exclusive nature, such as the fact that it contains strings from the ‘more_eggs’ backdoor malware, which is sold by ‘veteran’ malware service providers. The similarities between this malware and PureLocker suggest that it possible that this ransomware starts the same way. This means that, even if a piece of malware contains mechanisms to hinder the creation of detection signatures, as is the case with PureLocker, our advanced cybersecurity solution is capable of detecting and blocking the threat. Don’t become the next victim of PureLocker, and protect yourself with Panda Security.
