XRTN Ransomware uses Batch Files to Encrypt your Data

A new ransomware called the XRTN Ransomware is in the wild that encrypts your data using the open source Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG) encryption software. This ransomware is made up of a variety of tools and batch files that perform the encryption of your files. It is installed via a JavaScript file that downloads various files from gusang.vpscoke.com to the victim’s computer. When infected, the user will be shown a HTA document that instructs the victim to contact the email address [email protected] for help.
