Distribution of the New Troldesh Ransomware Virus

It’s still unknown what methods are used to distribute Troldesh, but ransomware viruses are often spread through e-mail spam with malicious attachments, bundling with programs, and web advertising on shady websites.
It’s also possible to distribute ransomware through infected social media messages and programs for file-sharing, so be careful what you download. Avoid downloading anything from unreliable sources like torrent trackers or similar sites. They’re often virus hotspots, especially if the site specializes in pirated content. After all, running a site is rarely free, and since they lack a product to sell, pirate torrent trackers often distribute excessive ads, often leading to all sorts of malware, adware, viruses, and other types of malicious content.
When New Troldesh infects your computer, it encrypts its files and demands payment for their decryption. It’ll likely change your wallpaper to a ransomware message and instructions on how to pay the ransom.

Technical Spec of the New Troldesh Ransomware virus

What’s changed in the New Troldesh ransomware since its last version?

• Tor functionality
• A wallpaper message with symbols and glyphs
• The virus changes the names of the encrypted files.
• The download of more malware – a Trojan by the name of Win32/Mexar.A;

The Troldesh’s creators used to communicate directly with the infected users to arrange the ransom, which is untypical, as most ransomware developers avoid direct communications with the people they scam. However, the Troldesh site is reportedly down and paying the ransom isn’t possible anymore. So, decrypting the files by other means isn’t just the best option- it’s the only option.
Another additions to the New Troldesh ransomware are the” file extensions – .da_vinci_code and .magic_software_syndicate. Also, the virus is now capable of encrypting more file type categories. New Troldesh ransomware also delivers a new Trojan virus – Mexar (Trojan:Win32/Mexar.A), which was first discovered by Microsoft on July 7th.

It’s always preferable to remove any malicious content with an anti-virus or anti-malware solutions and to avoid paying cyber-crooks.
