The group behind Doubleface ransomware has recently attacked the website of Donetsk International Airport, demonstrating its capability to execute high-profile cyberattacks.
Key Features and Pricing
Key Features and Pricing
Doubleface ransomware uses the C/C++ programming language. It also employs AES-128 and RSA-4096 encryption algorithms.
According to the seller, Doubleface ransomware is undetected by most major antivirus programs like Windows 10/11 Defender, Avast, Kaspersky and AVG. Its unpredictable behavior lets it bypass existing cybersecurity defenses.
Unlike some ransomware variants, Doubleface does not require a stub. But attackers must be careful in the management of the decryption key, because the wrong key will destroy all encrypted files.
The ransomware can work independently of an internet connection or network. It supports evasion of virtual machines, debugging tools and sandbox environments. These stealth features make it difficult to detect and mitigate.
This ransomware costs USD 500 per copy and can be bought in bulk. Also available for USD 10,000 is the complete source code for the ransomware. That opens up the code for cybercriminals to take it and perhaps modify it for their own purposes/purposes.
