Classe: Trojan-Ransom
Esse tipo de cavalo de Tróia modifica os dados no computador da vítima para que a vítima não possa mais usar os dados ou impede que o computador seja executado corretamente. Depois que os dados forem "tomados como reféns" (bloqueados ou criptografados), o usuário receberá uma demanda de resgate. A demanda de resgate diz à vítima para enviar o dinheiro do usuário malicioso; Após recebê-lo, o criminoso virtual enviará um programa à vítima para restaurar os dados ou restaurar o desempenho do computador.Plataforma: Win64
O Win64 é uma plataforma em sistemas operacionais baseados no Windows para execução de aplicativos de 32/64 bits. Programas Win64 não podem ser iniciados em versões de 32 bits do Windows.Família: Trojan-Ransom.Win64.Alien

Defense Evasion
The adversary is trying to avoid being detected.
Defense Evasion consists of techniques that adversaries use to avoid detection throughout their compromise. Techniques used for defense evasion include uninstalling/disabling security software or obfuscating/encrypting data and scripts. Adversaries also leverage and abuse trusted processes to hide and masquerade their malware. Other tactics’ techniques are cross-listed here when those techniques include the added benefit of subverting defenses.

Masquerading: Masquerade File Type
Adversaries may masquerade malicious payloads as legitimate files through changes to the payload's formatting, including the file’s signature, extension, and contents. Various file types have a typical standard format, including how they are encoded and organized. For example, a file’s signature (also known as header or magic bytes) is the beginning bytes of a file and is often used to identify the file’s type. For example, the header of a JPEG file, is
Adversaries may edit the header’s hex code and/or the file extension of a malicious payload in order to bypass file validation checks and/or input sanitization. This behavior is commonly used when payload files are transferred (e.g., Ingress Tool Transfer) and stored (e.g., Upload Malware) so that adversaries may move their malware without triggering detections.
Common non-executable file types and extensions, such as text files (`.txt`) and image files (`.jpg`, `.gif`, etc.) may be typically treated as benign. Based on this, adversaries may use a file extension to disguise malware, such as naming a PHP backdoor code with a file name of
Polygot files, which are files that have multiple different file types and that function differently based on the application that will execute them, may also be used to disguise malicious malware and capabilities.(Citation: polygot_icedID)
