Distribution of .TRON Ransomware Virus
.TRON virus is a new data locker ransomware that has been released in attack campaigns against computer users worldwide. The threat could be utilizing widely used tactics of distribution to infect computer systems.
One of the easiest ways for the criminals to spread the payload of .TRON ransomware is by attaching it to email messages that are later released in active attack campaigns. The method allows hackers to send the virus to large lists of potential victims. The attachments to malicious email spam messages usually have Word documents or other types of files which users open without hesitation. Once opened on a target host these compromised files trigger the ransomware payload and infect the device with .TRON crypto virus. Other infection tactic related to emails is hyperlink inserted in the content of the messages. The links are usually labeled as leading to a familiar website or a file of user interest.
Computer criminals behind this new ransomware can be using malicious sites or download portals to distribute malware of different kinds, including .TRON virus. A popular option is the use of infected documents which may be of different types ‒ spreadsheets, rich text documents, presentations and databases. They are modified to initiate the virus once the built-in scripts are run. Usually when the files are opened a notification will ask the users to run the macros (scripts). If this is done the infection follows.
The hacker-controlled sites are specialist portals that have been created either manually or automatically by the criminals behind .TRON virus. They can either directly distribute the threat by initiating various scripts or automated operations or link to such instances. Redirects are usually caused by email interaction, ad networks or other browsing activity. However one of the main sources is the availability of browser hijackers. They are malicious add-ons made for the most popular web browsers ‒ Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Microsoft Edge and Safari. Once installed they not only infect the users with the malware, but also redirect the victims to a hacker-controlled site. Depending on the configuration the browser hijackers can also steal sensitive information such as any stored passwords, account credentials, history, bookmarks, form data and settings.
Impact of .TRON Ransomware Virus
The .TRON viurs is a newly discovered malware threat also known as the AutoTRON ransomware. It is written using the AutoIt scripting language and it is very likely that it’s made by a beginner hacker or criminal collective. It is very possible that it is based on a template or sample code obtained from the underground hacker markets.
It is believed that updated versions of it can include various components that cause damage to the victim computers. The security analysis shows that once the AutoTRON virus is loaded onto the targets it immediately starts the main malware engine.
The first module that is started is usually the data harvesting component. The engine is programmed in such a way that it harvests strings that can be classified in two main categories. The first one is related to anonymous metrics that are used to harvest data used by the hackers to optimize their attack campaigns. The second type of information is related to the users identity. The personal data consists of strings related to a user’s identity: name, address, phone number, interests, location, passwords and account credentials.
This data ca be used by a stealth protection module that scans the machines for any software and services that can interfere with the virus’s correct execution. Examples include anti-virus products, sandbox environments and debug platforms. In some cases the criminals behind the .tron virus can program the samples to delete themselves to avoid detection.
Follow up system modifications can impact the Windows Registry. In this case certain user-installed applications can be render non-working as well as specific operating system features. If the virus changes any critical values then overall system performance may be impacted. Such changes can also lead to a persistent state of execution. In this case the users will find it nearly impossible to remove the threat using manual methods only.
Various boot options can also be impacted, an example is the inability to enter into the recovery menu. Additionally the virus can be programmed into starting up every time the computer is booted.
The hackers behind the .tron virus can also use the infection in a manner similar to Trojan malware. This is done by connecting to a special hacker-controlled server and receiving commands in real time. As a consequence the controllers can spy on the targets in real time, as well as overtake control of the machines. This feature can be used to drop other viruses if that is needed.
When all components have finished execution the ransomware engine is started. It uses a strong cipher in order to target sensitive user data such as the following:
- Archives
- Backups
- Documents
- Images
- Music
- Videos
When this is complete all victim files are renamed with the .tron extension from where the virus’s name originates. A ransomware note is crafted in a file called README.txt which has the following contents:
