Hello all. I am posting as I was recently infected by ransomware and have been unable to indentify it. I had submitted files to ID Ransomware and it returned the reference case # SHA1: a8341fe6217a90240ed50038a1da3967f7dd0458.[/size]
If anyone would be able to help, it would be most appreciated.[/size]

Thank you.[/size]

We're seeing the same note submitted with files that have the extension ".protos" added. Still need a sample of the malware in order to analyze.

I've added this to ID Ransomware as "Stroman" for now, and have it pointing victims to this topic.

One of our clients have been infected with something that looks similar to Stroman or FAT32, except all encrypted files are appended with the extension ".ntfs" on the end. However ransom note named info.txt (which is added to every directory on the hard drive) looks very similar.

It may be a new variant. Please be patient until Demonslay335 has a chance to check out the submission.

I'm not aware of any known method to decrypt files encrypted by any Stroman Ransomware variants without paying the ransom.

I have not seen that extension before. Did you submit (upload) any samples of encrypted files, ransom notes and any contact email addresses or hyperlinks provided by the cyber-criminals to ID Ransomware for assistance with identification and confirmation?

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any known method to decrypt files encrypted by any Stroman Ransomware variants without paying the ransom and obtaining the private RSA keys from the criminals.
