Acton Ransomware
Summary
Cybersecurity researchers have not been able to pin down what method of propagation are the cybercrooks behind the Acton Ransomware using to spread their creation. However, some believe that the most common propagation techniques may be at play here – infected pirated software, bogus application updates and mass spam email campaigns. If we dont answer in 24h., send e-mail to this address: leeming.derick@aol.com If there is no response from our mail, you can install the Jabber client and write to us in support of waitheisenberg@xmpp.jp As you can see, the attackers have provided three email addresses where they ask to be contacted – ‘greg.philipson@aol.com,’ ‘leeming.derick@aol.com,’ and ‘waitheisenberg@xmpp.jp.’ We recommend you strongly to keep your distance from cybercriminals. If you pay the ransom fee, not only will your money go to fund more of their criminal operations, but there is no guarantee that they will deliver on their end of the deal. Spyware changes regularly; therefore, it is difficult to fully clean an infected machine through manual means.
