LooCipher Ransomware
Summary
Cybersecurity experts have not been able to determine what the exact methods of propagation of the LooCipher Ransomware are, but it is highly likely that the infections vectors used for spreading this file-encrypting Trojan may be the usual suspects – spam email campaigns, faux software updates and corrupted pirated applications. If the LooCipher Ransomware manages to infiltrate a PC, it will scan it to determine the locations of the files, which it has been programmed to go after. The note dropped by the LooCipher Ransomware is named ‘@Please_Read_Me.txt’ five questions and answers, which are meant to shed some light onto the situation. In the pop-up window, there is a timer, and the attackers state that the victims have only five days to pay up or their files will be deleted permanently. Spyware changes regularly; therefore, it is difficult to fully clean an infected machine through manual means.
