Another new crypto-malware that encrypts your document: Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A


New variant of crypto-malware that encrypts all documents and ask to pay a ransom in order to unlock your files.
On September 25, 2015, a new variant of ransomware crypto-malware was discovered, classified as Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A
The Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A is a ransomware that encrypts documents all drives (local and remote) connected to your computer, demanding a ransom of 5 bitcoin in order to unlock your files.

The CRAM (Anti-Malware Research Center of TG Soft) team has analyzed this new variant of crypto-malware.

icon CryptoFF.A The file analyzed "4729.tmp" was found in the temporary folder of a computer hit by Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A
We don't have any more information as this malware spreads.

Name file: 4729.tmp
MD5: f437629253f2352550f924f8e4a40dd4
Size: 330240 byte

When running the Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A,  it creates a temporary file in: %temp%\83sa9Pd.txt
And then immediately starts to encrypt the files.

When finds the first victim, it will do the following things:

1) open the document
2) encrypt the document
3) rename the original file with extension ".0x0" (e.g.  mydocument.doc -> mydocument.doc.0x0)

In each folder, it will create 2 files:
secret.key (size: 1368 byte)
FUCKEDFILES.txt (size: 158 byte)

The file "secret.key" contains a key in UUencode, after it's decoded, it will obtain a key of 1024 byte.
The file "FUCKEDFILES.txt" contains instructions to recover the file encrypted:

email me if you want your files back:

file1@openmailbox.org

or

file1@inbox.lv

(add these emails to your whitelist
or check your junk/spam folder)

At this point, we have sent an mail at address above, asking the amount of ransom.
They replied asking of ransom of 5 bitcoins (about 1000,00 euro), as we can see in their reply:

hi, you need to pay 5 bitcoins to get the files back. How to get
bitcoins?

1. Bitcoin ATMs www.coinatmradar.com

2. www.localbitcoins.com - easiest

3. google: buy bitcoins

From the mail receive, we can guess the are 8 hours of difference, and they are +8 hours than us, so with a time zone +9 than Greenwich, they are probably based in Russia (Siberia).

The Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A removes the volume shadow copies with this command:
cmd.exe /Q /C vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /quiet

And it uses low-level cryptographic primitives of library Opensource CRYPTOGAMS by <appro@openssl.org>.

The Trojan.Win32.CryptoFF.A encrypts the first 16 bytes of files with the following extensions:
