In some cases, Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] can additionally block the setup of anti-malware programs.

Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] Summary

Summarizingly, Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] ransomware actions in the infected system are next:

  • SetUnhandledExceptionFilter detected (possible anti-debug);
  • Behavioural detection: Executable code extraction – unpacking;
  • Yara rule detections observed from a process memory dump/dropped files/CAPE;
  • Creates RWX memory;
  • Possible date expiration check, exits too soon after checking local time;
  • Dynamic (imported) function loading detected;
  • A process created a hidden window;
  • CAPE extracted potentially suspicious content;
  • The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing;
  • Authenticode signature is invalid;
  • Behavioural detection: Injection (Process Hollowing);
  • Executed a process and injected code into it, probably while unpacking;
  • Behavioural detection: Injection (inter-process);
  • Created a process from a suspicious location;
  • Encrypting the files located on the target’s disk drives — so the victim cannot open these files;
  • Blocking the launching of .exe files of security tools
  • Blocking the launching of installation files of security tools

Ransomware has been a horror story for the last 4 years. It is challenging to imagine a more dangerous malware for both individual users and corporations. The algorithms utilized in Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] (typically, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need more time than our galaxy actually exists, and possibly will exist. However, that virus does not do all these unpleasant things without delay – it can require up to several hours to cipher all of your documents. Thus, seeing the Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] detection is a clear signal that you must start the clearing process.

Where did I get the Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp]?

Typical ways of Win32:AceCrypter-B [Cryp] distribution are standard for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty modern method in malware distribution – you get the email that imitates some normal notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions changes. Within the e-mail, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a link which leads to the exploit landing site.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Preventing it looks pretty simple, however, still demands a lot of recognition. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is much better to prevent it even before it goes into your system than to depend on an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity knowledge is just an important item in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a PC remains on YouTube videos. That may keep you a lot of time and money which you would spend while looking for a fixing guide.
