What is “Doppelpaymer”?
DOPPELPAYMER ransomware encrypts user data with a combination of AES-256 and RSA-2048 and then demands a 2 BTC ransom to get the files back. There are also buyouts with a larger amount of 40 and 100 BTC. Original title: Identifies itself as Bit paymer. The file says: SpotLife WebAlbum Service Plugin and WASpotLife.DLL.
DoppelPaymer ransomware can publish stolen data in order to increase pressure on the victim (hence the additional name – publisher). To do this, ransomware operators start stealing data even before encrypting files with software (doxware). These ransomware actions were reported in the media:
