The Brotherhood Ransomware

What is The Brotherhood?

The Brotherhood is another ransomware-type virus discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. After successful infiltration, The Brotherhood encrypts most stored data, thereby making it impossible to use.

During encryption, the virus appends filenames with the ".ransomcrypt" extension (for instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.ransomcrypt") and then places an image file ("RansomNote.jpg") on the desktop.

MyloBot can be considered as a botnet, since all infected computers are connected to a single network. Depending on cyber criminals' goals, infected machines might be misused or have additional infections applied.
