Neutrino Exploit Kit via pseudoDarkleech delivers CrypMic Ransomware

by Analysis in iframe

NOTES:

  • Today I captured traffic from the latest version of CrypMic ransomware. The ransomware was delivered via the pseudoDarkleech campaign with use of the Neutrino Exploit Kit.
  • The injection method was an Iframe, as mentioned in a post on SANS Internet Storm Center forum Change in patterns for the pseudoDarkleech campaign.
  • The pseudoDarkleech campaign is making use of DNS Shadowing as explained in a sucuri.net blog post Website Malware – Evolution of Pseudo Darkleech. 
  • CrypMic continues to send its ransom notes over SSL port 443 in clear text.
  • CrypMic is no longer using vssadmin.exe to delete the Windows shadow copy.

I have added a zipped pcap file for your analysis. The password is the usual used by malware researchers. If you do not know it please email me.
