A new ransomware strain named XData has wreaked havoc in Ukraine in the last 24 hours, locking computers for hundreds of users.
First to spot this new strain was Malwarebytes security researcher Emphyrio, but it was a security researcher that goes by the name of MalwareHunter that sounded the alarm earlier today.
- DrivenData hosts data science competitions to build a better world, bringing cutting-edge predictive models to organizations tackling the world's toughest problems.
- InData/Xdata bring the full layout, design, typographic and picture publishing power of InDesign/QuarkXPress to bear on all your data-driven repetitive publishing tasks. Simply put, InData/Xdata.
MalwareHunter, who is one of the people behind the ID-Ransomware service, told Bleeping Computer that XData made today four times more victims inside Ukraine compared to the total for the whole week of the more virulent and self-spreading WannaCry ransomware. XData's numbers are remarkable if we take into account that Ukraine was the fifth most affected country in terms of WannaCry infections.
Furthermore, based on the same ID-Ransomware data, XData was the second most active ransomware family today, just behind Cerber, the undisputed leader of the ransomware world.
According to MalwareHunter, 95% of these victims were users from Ukraine, but XData also made victims in Russia, Germany, and Estonia.
The distribution method for this XData campaign is currently unknown. What we know is the names of the files and processes the ransomware spawns on an infected host, which may indirectly reveal some clues about its distribution vector.
XData uses the AES encryption algorithm to encrypt files, to which it appends the extension .~xdata~, so a file named image.png becomes image.png.~xdata~.
Besides local files, XData will also encrypt unmapped network shares. Once the encryption process ends, the ransomware drops a ransom note on the user's PC named HOW_CAN_I_DECRYPT_MY_FILES.txt.
Currently, there is no way to decrypt files locked by the XData ransomware without paying the ransom. As researchers continue to look into this threat, we'll update you on any new developments.
