| Titre | New Conti Ransomware Campaign Observed in the Wild |
| Texte | FortiGuard Labs has observed a new wave of ransomware threats belonging to the Conti malware family, active in Mexico. These variants appear to target the latest Linux and ESX systems and enable the attacker to encrypt files on the victim's machine and guest virtual machines. The variants are all dynamically linked 64-bit ELF samples written in C.A similar sample to the ones in this campaign was documented previously by Trellix.Why is this Significant?This is significant because the newly observed campaign was launched by the Conti ransomware group who are known for taking encrypted files and stolen information belonging to countless companies from varying sectors hostage for profits. The group announced it plans to retaliate against western targets after the Russian invasion into Ukraine adding a political motivation on top of financial gain.This new campaign seems to be similar to the previous campaigns however, some of the samples involved have much lower detection rates at the time of this writing.What Does the Malware Do?Conti ransomware variants used in the new campaign performs activities identical to the previous ones; it encrypts files on the compromised machine and adds a ".conti" file extension to them after the threat actor exfiltrates information from victim's network. It will then demand a ransom payment from the victim in order to recover the affected files and to prevent stolen information from being released to the public.It leaves a ransom note that reads:All of your files are currently encrypted by CONTI strain. If you don't know who we are - just "Google it".As you already know, all of your data has been encrypted by our software. It cannot be recovered by any means without contacting our team directly.DONT'T TRY TO RECOVER your data by yourselves.

This provides another indication for the fact Conti group consists of many people.What is the Status of Coverage?FortiGuard Labs provides the following AV signatures for the Conti ransomware samples observed in the new campaign:Linux/Filecoder_Conti.083E!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.0B97!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.14E3!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.3233!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.3691!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.3FA2!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.5DE1!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.638B!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.65AB!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.919D!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.BDC5!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.C2F5!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Conti.C3D1!tr.ransomLinux/Filecoder_Babyk.H!trPossibleThreatFortiEDR blocks the Conti samples pre-execution. |
