Strange AnteFrigus Ransomware Only Targets Specific Drives

AnteFrigus Ransomware is now being distributed through malvertising that redirects users to the the RIG exploit kit. Unlike other ransomware, it does not target the C: drive, but only other drives associated with removable devices and mapped network drives. It does not encrypt any files located on the D: drive or unmapped network shares. The ransomware will also create the C:qweasdtest.txt file, which is most likely used as a debug file. The ransom note will contain a link to the ransom note and become a little over 4 days after a payment becomes $1,995.
