The complete source code for the Paradise Ransomware has been released on a hacking forum XSS. The source code creates three executables – a ransomware configuration builder, the encryptor, and a decryptor. A Paradise affiliate can use the builder to customize their own version of the ransomware to include a custom command and control server, encrypted file extension, and contact email address. Once the customized ransomware is created, affiliates can distribute the malware in their campaigns to target victims. The code is only accessible to active users on the XSS forum who have previously replied to or reacted to other posts on the site.
