  • CTB Locker and Critroni Ransomware Information Guide and FAQ

    CTB Locker (Curve-Tor-Bitcoin Locker), otherwise known as Critroni, is a file-encrypting ransomware infection that was released in the middle of July 2014 that targets all versions of Windows including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Just like other file encrypting malware, the media continues to affiliate this infection with CryptoLocker when in fact this appears to have been developed by a different group using new technologies such as elliptical curve cryptography and the malware communicating with the Command and Control server over TOR. This malware also appears to be part of a kit that is being sold online for for $3,000 USD, which includes support in getting it up and running. With that said, expect to see other ransomware released using this kit, but possibly with different interfaces.
