In recent times, ransomware groups that focus on attacking both Windows and Linux computers and ESXi virtual machines have grown. And it is that the malware that capabilities we will see today has quite annoying as Rust has. This family of malware appeared a few days ago and we will see what this threat is capable of.
This threat was discovered by the security company Kaspersky, through its active monitoring system Darknet Threat Intelligence.
In an advertisement published on the dark web, the cyberbadgers claim to cooperate only with Russian-speaking partners. This would mean that the targets of interest to the attackers are outside the former Soviet Union.
Furthermore, its Russian provenance is evidenced by the ransom note embedded in the ransomware code, which is in English, but has some glaring misspellings.
Luna would be a very simple ransomware still in development and with limited capabilities based on available command line options. However, it uses a not-so-common encryption scheme, which combines the fast and secure Elliptic Curve X25519 Diffie-Hellman key exchange using Curve25519 with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric encryption algorithm so take security measures could be interesting.
