What kind of malware is UltraCrypter?

UltraCrypter is an updated version of CryptXXX ransomware. As with CryptXXX, UltraCrypter is distributed using the Angler Exploit Kit. In fact, these viruses are practically identical. UltraCrypter uses an asymmetric RSA-4096 algorithm to encrypt many files stored on the infiltrated system.

Therefore, public (encryption) and private (decryption) keys are generated and stored on remote servers. Decryption without the private key is impossible. Furthermore, UltraCrypter adds a .cryp1, .crypz, or .crypt extension (some newer variants add 5 random symbols or doesn't add any extension) to the name of each encrypted file.

Following successful encryption, UltraCrypter generates three different files: .bmp (which is also set as the desktop wallpaper); .txt, and; .html. These files have an identical naming format - [Victim’s personal ID].
