Malware News The Shark CryptoMix Ransomware Variant Smells Blood in the Water

[Solarquest]

Today, I discovered a new variant of the CryptoMix ransomware that is appending the .SHARK extension to encrypted file names. This family of ransomware usually releases a new version almost every week, if not sooner, so it is a bit surprising to see them take almost three weeks to release this variant.

This article will provide a brief summary of what has changed in this new variant. As we are always looking for weaknesses, if you are a victim of this variant and decide to pay the ransom, please send us the decryptorso we can take a look at it. You can also discuss or receive support for Cryptomix ransomware infections in our dedicated Cryptomix Help & Support Topic.
