Zepto ransomware now introduces new features to better encrypt your files

Zepto ransomware is a relatively new player in the ransomware scene, and it’s closely related to the infamous Locky ransomware. Taking a closer look at Zepto’s code, we found that the code is pretty much the same as Locky’s code, but it has been slightly modified. The malware authors behind Zepto use the same methods used to spread Locky, and even the infection vector and the TOR payment page are the same, which makes us think that the people behind Locky are now spreading Zepto. The only difference between Locky and Zepto is the ransom demand. Zepto’s demand is much higher than Locky’s, 3 Bicoins (approximately $1,850).

Como o Avast detecta novos malwares?

O nosso Laboratório de Ameaças da Avast está no coração da nossa capacidade de proteger as pessoas contra malwares. Entre 600.000 e 1 milhão de arquivos são enviados pelo sistema de detecção todos os dias. Quase a metade deles são arquivos desconhecidos. Isto significa que em algum lugar do mundo alguém foi alvo de cibercriminosos. Os analistas do Laboratório de Ameaças da Avast como Michal Salat, que aparece na foto acima, trabalha para bloquear estes ataques.
