GenoCheats Ransomware

What is GenoCheats?

First discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, GenoCheats is a ransomware-type virus based on Hidden Tear

At time of research, GenoCheats was distributed as a 'crack' for Adobe Photoshop and Minecraft. Immediately after infiltration, GenoCheats encrypts most stored data using AES cryptography and appends filenames with the ".encrypted" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.encrypted").

From this point, files become unusable. Once files are encrypted, GenoCheats changes the desktop wallpaper and creates a "READ_IT.txt" file, placing it on the desktop.
