We would like to inform you about a Ransomware called Gremit Ransomware that will soon be put into circulation. This program will encrypt your personal files and require that you buy the decryption key, which is required to regain them. Rather than pay the ransom but, you should remove it from your PC, because his dubious developer has made it clear your files mean nothing to him and can be deleted with a click of a button. But the good news is the fact that this Ransomware is still in the development stage and is distributed in unfinished state. But we succeeded, to receive a copy of it and test it. In this description, you will learn our results and any other relevant information about this infection.
Before we move on to their function and their properties, we want to address the problem in its dissemination. Your computer can be infected currently not so, but we are of the opinion that the Gremit Ransomware in the future about harmful email spam will be disseminated. Probably, your developers will establish a dedicated server which will send email spam to random users. These E-Mails should be disguised as legitimate emails and give the impression as if it were doing to receipts, invoices, tax returns and other documents by legitimate companies and authorities. It is not known in what region she should be disseminated. But everything in this Ransomware is written in English, that she is probably worldwide spread.
To date, the Gremit Ransomware is configured to encrypt files in only one place. The copy that we have tested, should encrypt files in C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\encrypt. Therefore, it is encrypt any files if the user name does not match the encryption folder does not exist. This Ransomware is the encrypted files Append file extension .rnsmwr, while she encrypted the files. The encryption algorithm used to encrypt the files is unknown, but we are sure that she used either the RSA or AES encryption method. Both methods ensure a secure encryption, and it seems that this Ransomware created a private decryption key, have sent to the command and control (C2) server and as long as it is saved until you pay the ransom. Obviously, there is no free decryption tool, and there will be neither, until the finished version of this Ransomware in circulation. Even then you can’t say whether the cyber security experts in the position will be to crack your encryption.
Once the Gremit Ransomware has completed the encryption, it will display a window with a black background and green text. The developers of these Ransomware want you pay 0.03 BTC, which is about 19 euros. The decryption key seems to be not so expensive, you must bear in mind however that this Ransomware is subject to changes and your developer could ask for much more money. The developer makes it clear that your files with a click of a button can be wiped off. The developer apply intimidation, to force users to pay the ransom and finding no alternative methods to recover your files. Also this Ransomware is to delete all four hours a randomly selected file. If you don’t want to pay the ransom, but want to keep to try to use a third-party tool (assuming there will be one), for their decryption the encrypted files we advise you to remove this infection.
