Ransomware

JSWorm is a ransomware family that first appeared in May 2019 and is notable for undergoing multiple rebrands and evolutions, later appearing under names such as Nemty, Nefilim, Offwhite, Fusion, and Milihpen. Initially, it was distributed via malicious spam emails containing JavaScript files, hence the “JS” in its name. Later versions moved to targeted intrusions, leveraging compromised RDP services and vulnerable network appliances for initial access. JSWorm encrypts files using AES-256 encryption with RSA-2048 for key protection and appends campaign-specific extensions (e.g., .JSWORM, .Nemty, .Nephilim). The group adopted a double-extortion model in its later stages, stealing data before encryption and threatening to leak it via Tor-hosted sites. Its victimology spans various sectors worldwide, including manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and professional services. The continuous rebranding suggests an effort to evade detection, disrupt attribution, and maintain pressure on victims.

Securotrop is a ransomware group established in early 2025 that operates within the Qilin affiliate network while maintaining an independent public identity, focusing exclusively on commercial targets and deliberately avoiding healthcare and government entities, with approximately 32 documented victims.

CerBerSysLock first appeared in December 2017 as a cryptoransomware imposter, leveraging Cerber-style branding to deceive victims. It uses XOR-based encryption to lock files and appends extensions such as .CerBerSysLocked0009881. Victims receive a ransom note titled “HOW TO DECRYPT FILES.txt”, which falsely claims to be from the Cerber ransomware. The note includes an email contact—TerraBytefiles@scryptmail.com—and instructs victims to reference their ID (e.g., "CerBerSysLocked0009881") when communicating. The ransomware is technically linked to the Xorist family and is generally considered an opportunistic, low-profile scam rather than part of a broader Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation.

Mobile ransomware. The Zscaler ThreatLabZ team recently came across a URL named hxxp://coronavirusapp[.]site/mobile.html, which portrays itself as a download site for an Android app that tracks the coronavirus spread across the globe. In reality, the app is Android ransomware, which locks out the victim and asks for ransom to unlock the device. The app portrays itself as a Coronavirus Tracker. As soon as it starts running, it asks the user for several authorizations, including admin rights. In fact, this ransomware does not encrypt nor steal anything and only lock the device with an hard coded code.

Our team members are from different countries and we are not interested in anything else, we are only interested in dollars. We do not allow CIS, Cuba, North Korea and China to be targeted. Re-attacks are not allowed for target companies that have already made payments. We do not allow non-profit hospitals and some non-profit organizations be targeted.
