Where does VIAGRA Ransomware come from?

Our research team suggests that this malware hasn’t been fully developed yet. Therefore, its distribution is highly sporadic, and it is very likely that it targets specific victims. It is believed that later on when this malware is fully developed, it could spread like most of the ransomware infections – through spam emails.

Right now, it is very likely that it reaches you through unsafe RDP connections when you receive files from unknown parties. Disregarding the manner of distribution, users often are able to avoid getting infected with ransomware if only they are more careful about the files they encounter online. Whenever you are urged to open a certain file, you have to think twice. Why should you receive this file? Why should you open it? Isn’t it something random? Do you know the sender?

If you are not sure whether the attached file or the document you have just received through some other medium is safe, you should scan the document with a security tool of your choice. This way, you would be able to avoid malware infections. It might be cumbersome to scan every single file before opening it, but it is a good habit to acquire.

What does VIAGRA Ransomware do?

VIAGRA Ransomware is written in the .NET programming language, and the program is still under development, so it might not exhibit its entire potential yet. We know for sure that this program doesn’t have a Point of Execution, so it will not start automatically if you restart your PC. Nevertheless, if you restart your computer once you notice that this infection has entered your system, your files will still get encrypted.

Once launched, the program opens a box that says “fuck.” That is probably enough to tell you that something is not right. Then it goes on to encrypt files in the %HOMEDRIVE% and %WINDIR% directories. Luckily, it doesn’t affect every single system file, so your PC still works even after the encryption. Every affected folder also receives a ransom note that says the following:

What happened to my files?
