Infection Flow of Wana Decrypt0r Trojan-Syria Editi0n ransomware
Security researchers discovered a new virus that imitates the famous WannaCry virus that caused major infections and mayhem last month.

Its virus engine code is sourced from the famous Hidden Tear that has laid the foundations of many imitator viruses.
The captured samples of the Wana Decrypt0r Trojan-Syria Editi0n virus seem to be still in development. They are relatively few in comparison to other virus attacks and contain only a basic encryption engine. Depending on the acquired sample it may not encrypt files at all or only a limited set of the full list of target file type extensions. Most similar threats typically seek to process as many system and user data as possible including documents, archives, backups, photos, videos, configuration files and etc.
If the victims acquire a Wana Decrypt0r Trojan-Syria Editi0n ransomware sample then the encryption engine is automatically started. Depending on the hacker configuration it may follow a set of standard extensions or a partial list. Once this process is complete the .wannacry extension is used to mark the affected files.
A lockscreen instance is started on the victim computer that prevents ordinary interaction until the malware is completely removed. It displays the ransomware message along with related graphics in an attempt to blackmail the users into paying the criminal hackers. It reads the following:
