The X-Force 2018 is new variant of another ransomware, like the WannaCry and NotPetya. There are some differences between this new attack and previous versions. The main new features are encryption of dynamic disks on Windows operating system; the option to run the program without displaying a window; lack of possible recovery keys (it does not generate them.) It was impossible to say who created the malware, but one hypothesis is that it was made by developers from Ukraine or Russia. It's important to remember that prevention is always better than cure. That's why we'll tell you how to avoid this nasty infection by using prevention methods against all types of ransomware viruses. NotPetya was the only ransomware that spread in a networked environment, and it was used for cyber espionage. It is estimated to have caused losses of over $10 million (USD), and avoidable avoidable costs, in the insurance industry alone , due to shutdowns and disruptions in production at companies in Ukraine. Which ransomware does X-Force 2018 attack? The X-Force 2018 is programmed to attack on Windows computer systems on which are installed on the system some 3D graphics applications. For example - on systems are installed on the system threeD Studio Max®, 3ds Max®, Maya®, Blender, or MudBox®. The list of known software packages with reported infections includes the following: X-Force 2018 is an advanced variant of another ransomware, like the WannaCry and NotPetya. Unlike xPetya, X-Force 2018 does not use a Microsoft patch that was released on March 14, 2017 for security vulnerabilities in older versions of Windows. The malware encrypts the computer until it has 50% of disk space used up; if this threshold is reached it starts to encrypt files using XORed keys, although Mac users should check first whether their computers have Mac OS X v10.8 or earlier installed on them. Unlike other malicious programs that utilize a . datam extension in their file extensions, X-Force 2018 adopts a .xorpad extension. X-Force 2018 is a notable, and in its own right, highly sophisticated variant of the Petya/NotPetya malware that appeared in 2016. X-Force 2018 does not modify the MBR (Master Boot Record) like the original Petya ransomware; it instead encrypts files using an AES encryption algorithm, and copies itself to the Windows folder as Linux or 7za.exe - depending on whether it has encrypted NTFS or FAT32 partitions respectively. The newly created XORed key is then added to the $MFT file of each drive encrypted by X-Force 2018. It also leaves a ransom note named README.TXT and a file called HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.HTML in every folder it encrypts. When the computer reboots, it displays a message claiming that the user's files have been encrypted, and that they must pay to get them back (in Bitcoins). The demand is for $300 USD worth of Bitcoin to be paid as the ransom fee.https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/05/x-force-2018_ransomware_.html https://www.helpnetsecurity. eccc085e13
