Magniber Ransomware


Magniber Ransomware 

Overview

After delivering a number of payloads for number of ransomware in selected countries in Asia, The Magnitude EK  exploit kit has resurfaced, this time with a new payload. The delivered malware is also a ransomware, but of a family that was not known before. It has been named “Magniber”. This Magniber ransomware is highly targeted, as it checks at several levels (external IP, the language installed, etc.) to ensure that the attacked system is only South Korean. Targeting a single country is unusual on its own, but performing multiple checks to be sure of the country and language of origin makes this a first for ransomware. Magniber is delivered packed by various crypters, and the unpacking method will depend on the crypter’s features


Behavioral Analysis

This ransomware is dropped only by the Magnitude exploit kit. If the malware is executed on non-Korean systems, the only thing we can see is the operation of deleting itself, delayed by running the ping command. It only starts its malicious operations on systems with Korean language detected. The executable is pretty noisy, because it implements various tasks just by command line. The malware copies itself in %TEMP% and deploys itself with the help of task scheduler.  It can be seen that the ransom note and yet another file are in the same folder . Its name is the same as the part of the domain that has been generated for the particular user, and its extension is the same as the extension of the encrypted files. To each encrypted file is added an extension that is composed of small Latin characters and is constant for the particular sample of Magniber
