What is cloystercdn[.]com?

What is the Isos ransomware?

Discovered by dnwls0719, Isos is a malicious program that is part of the Phobos ransomware family. This malware is designed to encrypt data and demand payment for decryption. During the encryption process, all affected files are renamed following this pattern: original filename, unique ID assigned to the victim, cyber criminals' email address and the ".isos" extension.

For example, a file named "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.id[C279F237-2589].[helpisos@aol.com].isos" following encryption. Once this process is complete, ransom messages are created in a pop-up window ("info.hta") and the "info.txt" text file.
