BACKGROUND ON RIG EXPLOIT KIT:
- I usually run across 2 versions of Rig EK: Rig-V (Rig 4.0) and Rig-E (Empire Pack).
- Rig-V is what security researchers called Rig EK version 4 when it was only accessible by "VIP" customers, while the old version (Rig 3) was still in use.
- I currently call it "Rig-V" out of habit.
- The proper name for Rig-E is "Empire Pack". Empire Pack a variant of Rig EK as described by Kafeine here.
- I haven't seen Empire Pack traffic in 2017 yet, but I often see it from the EITest campaign (when EITest is distributing something other than CryptoMix/CryptFile2 or Cerber).
BACKGROUND ON THE EITEST CAMPAIGN:
- My most recent write-up on the EITest campaign can be found here.
BACKGROUND ON CRYPTOMIX RANSOMWARE:
- The ransomware I used to call CryptFile2 is actually CryptoMix ransomware. Details can be found here.
- The EITest campaign currently uses Rig-V to send this CryptoMix (CryptFile2) ransomware.
- Some people might be tempted to call this "Lesli ransomware" based on LESLI SPYING ON YOU in the ransom note and the .lesli file extension it uses for encrypted files.
- Don't be fooled. This is actually CryptoMix/CryptFile2 ransomware.
- I first saw the .lesli file extension used by CryptoMix ransomware last year on 2016-11-28.
