Selena Ransomware

What is Selena ransomware?

During a routine inspection of new malware submissions to VirusTotal, our research team discovered the Selena ransomware-type program. We obtained a sample for testing from VirusTotal.

On our test machine, this malicious program encrypted files and altered their filenames. The names of affected files were changed according to this pattern - a unique ID assigned to the victim, the cyber criminals' email address, the original filename, and a ".selena" extension. For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" appeared as "id[q2TQAj3U].[Selena@onionmail.org].1.jpg.selena".

Once the encryption process was completed, this ransomware created a text file named "selena.txt" on the desktop. This file contained a ransom note, based on which we could conclude that Selena targets companies rather than home users.
