Through a friend of my I got to this seemingly fresh malware named GoogleChromeUpdater.exe. The page (URL see at the end of the post) claims to distribute a important Chrome Update. However, the malware encrypt files and left an E-Mail address, the classic file kidnapping along with blackmailing.
Note: If you are infected by this malware your chances are bad to get back your data. The encryption key is likely only stored on the attackers server. Unless somebody breaks the encryption, you cannot restore your data. And of course, you should not feed criminals! 🙂
I could not resist and had to have a closer look at the malware…
