Hey Techknow
Addicts,
What is Ransomeware?
- Ransomeware is a
type of virus which encrypts your all data and then ask for money through
bitcoin so that he cannot be tracked and then he will provide key to
decrypt.
- There was
vulnerability in windows 7 which was detected by NSA and Wannacry hacker
took advantage of it and created ransomeware.
- There was no
guarantee that after paying the amount he will give you key to decrypt in
most of cases they delete the key.
Someone solved the problem accidently.
- There is a hacker
known as Malware Tech who has just open the source code of ransomeware and
analyzed it.
- He found some conditions such as IF-ELSE
so it was like there was a domain if from that any requests will be received by the software it will
automatically decrypt.
- So he registered
that domain and the data was decrypted from all the PC’s which were
affected by it.
- Although widows
have already patched that vulnerability.
- There was a time
period before 2-3 years at that time people all over the world was
affected by ransomeware.
- So this was all
about ransomeware attack.
