Key Features of Infected Monitor Ransomware 20241. Advanced Encryption (AES + RSA Hybrid)The ransomware employs AES-256 to encrypt files and RSA-2048 to secure the decryption key, making unauthorized decryption nearly impossible.
2. Double Extortion TacticsBefore encrypting data, attackers exfiltrate sensitive information and threaten to leak the stolen data unless the victim pays the ransom.
3. Customized Ransom NotesThe malware drops a “README_INFECTED.txt” or “DECRYPT_FILES.html” file containing payment instructions, a unique victim ID, and a link to a Tor-based payment portal.
4. Process Termination & Anti-Recovery MeasuresThe ransomware terminates security-related processes (e.g., antivirus, backup services) and deletes Volume Shadow Copies (VSS) to prevent system recovery.
5. Multi-Language SupportAttackers tailor ransom notes in multiple languages to target victims globally.
6. Delayed ExecutionSome variants delay execution to evade sandbox detection and increase persistence.
