New ransomware appeared not to send Bitcoin, money, but ... nude photos !!!

For years, cyber criminals have attacked many computers with extortion malware. Hackers promise to return the file when the victim pays a certain amount of virtual money - usually Bitcoin - for a given period of time. Now someone has created a new trend when using ransomware to request nude photos instead of Bitcoin.

Researchers at MalwareHunterTeam have discovered a blackmail code called nRansomware. They posted an image showing the message the victim received when infected with malware.

Hackers request nude photos of victims instead of Bitcoin

'Your computer has been locked', then ask the victim to email the hacker 'After we respond, you must send at least 10 of your nude photos. We will confirm whether it really is your photo. '

This message is displayed above the background image of Thomas Tank Engine's fantasy character with smiley and the words 'Fuck You' in bold. It is still unclear how many people are infected with this ransomware and how serious the hacker behind is.

At some point, the malware seems to be valid.NRansom.exe file is classified by some virus detection tools such as VirusTotal, Hybrid Analysis, and malicious code. Users on Twitter also show many other patterns of this type of ransomware.

Malware can be verified on the malicious code of the above two names if someone gives an entry and details about it or the malware uploads it and automatically analyzes it. The Motherboard site tried to poison a virtual machine with this malware but it failed.

Maybe this is just a fake ransomware and doesn't actually encrypt the victim's file. According to MalwareHunterTeam, the malware also plays a playback track from a file called your-mom-gay.mp3, which is actually the background music of the Curb Your Enthusiasm TV show, in the background.

Contacting a hacker via email in the blackmail message has not yet received a response. This Ransomware is obviously horrible and hopefully it's not true. For years, hackers have used malware to track women, steal their nude photos and access webcams.
