A new kind Javascript-based ransomware package is reportedly being sold on the dark web. Its users log into software that is provided as a service in exchange for giving the developers a cut of their extorted profits.
Emisoft Chief Technology Officer Fabian Wosar described the malware ‒ called Ransom32 ‒ and its web interface in a blog post, saying that users log in with their Bitcoin wallet addresses. Signups and connections are hidden within the Tor network, an anonymization system that requires special software to access.
