What is Cassetto?

Cassetto is a ransomware-type virus discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. Immediately after infiltration, Cassetto encrypts most stored files and appends filenames with the ".cassetto" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.cassetto".

Once encrypted, files immediately become unusable. Following successful encryption, Cassetto generates a text file ("IMPORTANT ABOUT DECRYPT.txt"), placing a copy in each existing folder.

What is Cortana.exe?

Cortana.exe is a cryptocurrency-mining trojan that stealthily infiltrates the system and utilizes resources (specifically, CPU) to mine Monero cryptocurrency. Note that Cortana.exe is actually a renamed executable of XMRIG, a legitimate cryptocurrency-mining tool. Since Cortana.exe is used to mine cryptocurrency without users' consent, however, it is categorized as a virus.
