Unlike Noteptya, which really deletes data, Hybridpeta acts like a classic encryption: after payment ($ 1000 in Bitcoins), the victim can take the password -solving switch. Malicious software uses the security vulnerability of CV-2024-7344 in outdated systems and can encrypt the NTFS file system file system.
After starting, Hybridpetia checks settings, creates the encryption key, encrypt system files and gives a counterfeit disk control screen. Then the computer is restarted and displays the message requiring ransom. The switch introduced by the user is checked and the system can be restored with its accuracy.
The virus installer replaces download files in the EFI section, creates a configuration with encryption switches, and restarts the computer infected fashion.
Until now, “Wild Nature” distribution has not been recorded.
