Fadesoft Ransomware

## Fadesoft Ransomware Overview

The Fadesoft ransomware is a virus that shows typical behavior patterns. It encrypts target user files and extorts the victims for a ransom fee payment.

The initial security analysis does not conclude if the virus is based on any existing famous malware families. However we do know that it is able to bypass the UAC (User Account Control) prompt. All network traffic with the remote C&C servers is carried out through the TOR and Privoxy networks.

The built-in encryption engine uses the AES cipher and encrypts a large amount of different file type extensions.
