History and Evolution of TeslaCrypt Ransomware Virus TeslaCrypt is a file-encrypting ransomware program that is designed for all Windows versions including Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8. This program was released for the first time towards the end of February 2015. When it is infected on your PC, TeslaCrypt will search for data files and then encrypt them using AES encryption so that you will no longer be capable of opening them. As soon as all the data files on your computer have been infected, a program will be displayed that provides details on how to retrieve your files. The instructions will include a link that will take you to a TOR encryption service website. This site will give you information on the current ransom amount, the number of files are encrypted, and how to pay the ransom so your files can be released. The ransom amount typically starts at $500. It is payable through Bitcoins. There is a distinct Bitcoin address for each victim. MINECRAFT PLUGINS Once TeslaCrypt is installed on your computer, it generates an executable with a random label in the %AppData% folder. The executable starts and searches your drive letters for files to encrypt. It then adds an extension the name of each supported data file it discovers. This name is determined by the version that has affected your system. The program is now using different extensions for files to encrypt encrypted files with the release of new versions of TeslaCrypt. TeslaCrypt currently utilizes the following extensions for encrypted files:.cccc..abc..aaa..zzz..xyz. You could make use of TeslaDecoder to decrypt encrypted files for free. It's dependent on which version of TeslaCrypt is infected. TeslaCrypt scans every drive letter on your computer to find files to encrypt. It includes network shares, DropBox mappings, and removable drives. It only targets network shares ' data files if the network share is mapped as a drive letters on your computer. If you haven't mapped the network share as a drive letter the ransomware won't encrypt the files on that network share. Once it is done scanning your computer, it will delete all Shadow Volume Copies. This is done to prevent you from restoring damaged files. The version of the ransomware is identified by the application's title, which appears after encryption. How TeslaCrypt infects your computer TeslaCrypt infects computers if the user visits a compromised site that has an exploit kit as well as outdated software. Developers hack websites to distribute this malware. An exploit kit is a software program that they install. This tool exploits vulnerabilities within the programs on your computer. Acrobat Reader and Java are just a couple of the programs that have vulnerabilities. Once the exploit kit has successfully exploited the vulnerabilities in your computer it automatically installs and launches TeslaCrypt. You should, therefore, ensure that you Windows and other programs installed are up-to-date. MINECRAFT PLUGINS It will protect you from potential security issues that could lead to infection of your system with TeslaCrypt. The ransomware was the first to actively attack data files that are used by PC video games. It targets game files from games like MineCraft, Steam, World of Tanks, League of Legends, Half-life 2. Diablo, Fallout 3 Skyrim, Dragon Age Dragon Age, Call of Duty and RPG Maker are just a handful of the many games it targets. However, it has not been determined if the game's targets result in more revenues for the creators of this malware. Versions of TeslaCrypt and the file extensions that go with it. TeslaCrypt is constantly updated to include new encryption methods and file extensions. The initial version encrypts files using the extension .ecc. In this case the encrypted files aren't paired with data files. TeslaDecoder can also be used to retrieve the original decryption key. It's possible if the key used to decrypt was zeroed out, and a partial key was discovered in key.dat. You can also find the Tesla request directly to the server with the keys for decryption. There is a second version that has encrypted extensions for files of .ecc and .ezz. If the decryption key is not zeroed out, one is unable to retrieve the original key. The encrypted files are not paired with the data file. The Tesla request can be sent to the server using the encryption key. The original encryption keys for the versions with extensions file names.ezz or.exx cannot be recovered without the authors private key. If the secret key used to decrypt the data was zeroed out, it won't be possible to recover the original key. The encrypted files that have the extension .exx are linked to data files. The encryption key can also be obtained from the Tesla request to the server. Versions that use encrypted file extensions.ccc or.abc do not use data files. The key to decrypt cannot be stored on your system. It can only be decrypted if the victim records the key as it is being sent to the server. The key to decrypt can be retrieved from Tesla request to the server. It is not possible to do this with versions that are older than TeslaCrypt v2.1.0. MINECRAFT PLUGINS The release of TeslaCrypt 4.0 Recently, the developers released TeslaCrypt 4.0 sometime in March 2016. A quick analysis shows that the new version has fixed a flaw that corrupted files earlier than 4GB. It also includes new ransom notes, and doesn't require encryption of files. The absence of an extension makes it hard for users to learn the details of TeslaCryot and what happened to their files. The ransom notes can be used to establish routes for victims. There isn't a lot of established ways to decrypt files with no extension, without a purchased decryption key or Tesla's personal key. The files can be decrypted if the victim captured the key as it was transmitted to the server during encryption.
