What is Kraken Cryptor?

Kraken Cryptor is high-risk ransomware discovered by malware security researcher, Jakob Kroustek. Immediately after infiltration, Kraken Cryptor encrypts most stored files and renames them using the "[file_number]-Lock.onion" pattern.

For example, names of encrypted files might become "00000000-Lock.onion", "00000001-Lock.onion", "00000002-Lock.onion", and so on. Encrypted data becomes unusable and indistinguishable. Following successful encryption, Kraken Cryptor generates a text file ("# How to Decrypt Files.txt") and places a copy in all existing folders.

Winstar (also known as WinstarNssmMiner) is a rogue application based on a legitimate open-source miner called XMRIG.
