Chimera Ransomware is a new version of encrypted virus that has been released over the cyber world for malicious benefit-making. Over the past weeks, the Chimera Ransomware tries every possible ways to attack online users PCs and encrypt their personal files for blackmailing ransom. The Chimera Ransomware declares it can reveal victims’ data online and take advantage of this message to scare them and convince them into paying large amounts of money. Though, now you have to have a real recognition of the Chimera Ransomware, the virus actually doesn’t have the capacity of revealing your confidential information and files anywhere. The scary warnings popped-up on the Chimera Ransomware interface is just carefully crafted by attackers in order for ricking victims to complete a payment. And this time, the Chimera Ransomware is a little bit different, which exploits the BItmessage P2P communication protocol to send encrypted messages instead of the distribution of decryption keys. There is not any TOR site to inform victimized users on how to manage payments and download the decryption key. The main approach is through Itmessage P2P application to communicate with and send decryption key to paid victims.
In most cases, just siilar to the An Garda Síochána. Ireland’s National Police on PC and Android Phone, attackers can attack a targeting PC through drive-by downloads, including freeware, shareware, web plugins, and a lot of other potentially unwanted programs by third-party Windows stores. But this time the Chimera Ransomware exploits a new way to finish a tricky attack. The attackers can communicate with victimized users though an embeded PyBitmessage application, which is able to collect targeting users’ personal information and send them to attackers, just such as user’s private key, hardware ID, and payment bicoin address, etc. Besides that, the Chimera Ransomware also allows attackers find and encrypt any data files on a connected drives, files ended with the .jpg, .jpeg, .text, .xsl, . Cmf, . Vbs, .accdb, .conf, .mdv, and a lot of others can be the targets. Once those personal data files are encrypted, the Chimera Ransomware will display a ransom note to inform victimized users and scare them into paying a required ransom. In this case, the best way is to remove the Chimera Ransomware from the infectious PC in case of further damage rather than pay a fine to attackers.
