Summary

Another ransomware spreading through BEDEP following an infection via Angler Exploit kit was discovered and detected by Trend Micro as Ransom_WALTRIX.

WALTRIX got its name from wallet (WAL) and wordplay on XXX (TRIX). The said ransomware can steal bitcoin wallet and CryptXXX is the folder name of the project from the source code bought by cyber-criminal groups.

According to researchers, the ransomware demands a rather lofty ransom of $500 per system—a far cry from common ransom payments seen in the past. WALTRIX is also found to possess Bitcoin-stealing abilities, aside from harvesting credentials and other personal information from its target.
