MAme Vse Ransomware

The MAme Vse Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that keeps documents, images, and similar media on your computer from opening. The MAme Vse Ransomware encryption may or may not be reversible easily, and users should have backups on other devices for recovery. Cyber-security solutions can also protect files by blocking installation exploits and automatically containing and removing the MAme Vse Ransomware.

A Trojan Capitalizing on Sensationalist Shames

For criminals, sex and blackmail go together like peanut butter and jelly, and that's a reliable truth, even when the crime involves programming. What might be a variant of the Xorist Ransomware, an XOR and TEA file-encrypting family of Trojans, targets users with threats of monitoring their private behavior. While the MAme Vse Ransomware is more memorable than many Ransomware-as-a-Service, its motives aren't different from them: making money.

As a Windows Trojan, the MAme Vse Ransomware has several attacks with highly-visible effects against infected users:

• The encryption feature blocks the user's files while also adding the extensions ('Mame Vse,' possibly Czech for 'we have everything').
• A desktop wallpaper-hijacking feature resets the wallpaper to an image from the Trojan, although this picture is only more Czech text.
• Finally, the Trojan creates text messages with its decryption demands in most folders, including the base C drive. After translation from Czech, the contents claims that the Trojan's installation is due to the user's visiting a pornographic website – and that the software will record live video of the user during 'private' moments.

However, the MAme Vse Ransomware also delivers a Bitcoin wallet link, making the intent clear, even if it doesn't offer a direct price for the decryptor. The threat actor may be open to haggling, but current versions of the MAme Vse Ransomware in malware experts' hands don't provide e-mail addresses or other contact methods.

Taking the Fun Out of Gamer Trojans

The MAme Vse Ransomware is a somewhat rare case of a Trojan whose payload contradicts its apparent infection vectors. Despite the adult website theme, samples of the MAme Vse Ransomware's installers are carrying random names or the label of 'Minecraft client 2020.' As usual, malware experts recommend against downloading unknown software from unofficial sites, when, as in this case, a legitimate product is available free through the developer, especially. The MAme Vse Ransomware may be using torrents, rather than dedicated websites, for circulating.

A file unlocker or decryptor for the Xorist Ransomware family may retain effectiveness for the MAme Vse Ransomware attacks. Nonetheless, most file-locker Trojans use secure encryption routines, and the risks of ignoring backup security against these threats remain incredibly high. For a more foolproof solution to preserving data, users should back their work up onto removable drives or cloud services, as appropriate.

Windows security tools also should block and remove the MAme Vse Ransomware and prevent any file-locking attacks from happening. Prevention is preferable in file-locker Trojan campaign, particularly, which often carry payloads with essentially-irreversible consequences.

The MAme Vse Ransomware might work at cross-purposes, with a dubious ransom and, for now, no takers. Its wallet's lack of payment is a hopeful sign for a future that doesn't involve further development into this salacious software.
