How to Remove Nhom10 Ransomware

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that is designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. It blocks the user's access by encrypting their personal files and then demanding payment in order for the person to decrypt or regain full access.

Some variants of ransomware are capable of using the Cryptolocker Network, a service that provides users with an online platform to anonymously and securely communicate with their victims. Once a payment is made, the network then sends encrypted files to the victim. The security team at BleepingComputer.com has stated that their "current belief is that this network is connected to some of the larger malvertising campaigns currently infecting users.

How Does Ransomware Spread?

Ransomware is typically distributed through e-mail attachments, drive-by download attacks, and via peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Ransomware has been detected in a number of different file formats including .scr, .bat, .exe, .hta, .vbs and .vbe. However the most common distribution method is through e-mail attachments disguised as images.

How Does Nhom10 Ransomware Work?

Nhom10 Ransomware uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm which is used by various other types of ransomware including Locky and TorrentLocker. Nhom10 also uses a form of dynamic code injection which is usually only seen in ntauthnRansomware variants. NnHom10 has been noted to bypass certain security measures by altering PE header values, making it difficult to detect the ransomware on infected systems. NnHom10 also implements hiding techniques and acts as a polymorphic executable infector that prevents detection from existing anti-virus products.

NnHom10 requires a payment worth $300 USD for access to data after the encryption process is completed. NnHom20 will decrypt files after payment has been made.

According to the Malware Hunter Team, NnHom10 uses the .cn suffix as its file extension and drops a NSIS installer when dropped on a PC. The .cn suffix is not seen commonly in ransomware but was used in the sample discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. This sample also uses AES-256 encryption which is another variant of ransomware that has been recent discovered by Palo Alto Networks.
