What is Maze? Maze ransomware 2019 is a cryptovirus. Can files encrypted by the Maze ransomware 2019 virus be decrypted?

Maze Ransomware 2019 or otherwise known as Maze is a cryptovirus. It encrypts files and makes them inaccessible while adding a custom extension containing part of the ID of the victim. The ransom note is placed inside a text file and an htm file. There are a few different extensions appended to files which are randomly generated. The Maze ransomware note, gives specific instructions to victims on how they can allegedly restore their data, trying to charge them 500 dollars.

January 2020 saw another dangerous release of the Maze ransomware. The active campaign is focused on infecting more hosts with the dangerous threat. Not only the full-fledged versions are released in the wild in directed large-scale attacks, but the sample analysis reveals that several upgrades have been done. They are primarily associated with the network connection parameters. The local client will poll remote servers for additional instructions and to provide hijacked information and data. The interesting aspect is that there are several servers listed — this mechanism shows that the criminals have created a large infrastructure of remote hosts. If one of them goes down the local client will be able to contact the next one in line.

During the network connection the analysis shows that the local clients will use typical browser user agents — this will mask the malware activity as ordinary web user sessions. This can potentially hide the presence of the virus from firewalls and intrusion detection systems which may be looking out for specific malware strings and identification in the network packets.

In December 2019 an unexpected turn of events regarding the Maze ransomware samples happened. The criminals behind the ongoing attacks (both using the original and later variants of the virus) started to expose the victims who did not pay the ransomware sum. This act of blackmail aims to use a psychological approach to persuade the victims into paying. The information is posted on public lists and includes file names and text labels that can be used to identify the affected companies.

The information is posted on a hacker-controlled website giving credits to the “Maze Team”. The hackers also claim to have exfiltrated sensitive data from the victims. The type of documents listed include spreadsheets containing financial information, patent applications and private correspondence. It is estimated by the available information that the total number of hijacked files ranges from 1.5 GB to 120 GB. As the maze ransomware 2019 samples have been launched globally and the majority of victims are located in the Canada, France, Italy, the USA and the United Kingdom. This is not the first time where Maze ransomware hackers have used such approaches. Earlier this month the hackers published about 700 MB of stolen data in an attempt to manipulate victims into paying the hackers.

Maze ransomware continues to wreak havoc as the hackers have been able to infect the city of Pensacola, Florida on December 7th. There is no confirmation that the city authorities have paid the hackers. Such infections can potentially affect institutions serving the municipality. It seems that the attack campaigns continue to target both home users and government institutions.

Maze Ransomware 2019 – November 2019 New Ransom Note

One of the latest releases of the Maze virus displays a different ransom note. This probably means that it is a distinct version from the original Maze ransomware sample or that other conditions have lead to its display.

The name of the malicious file is called officeupd.tmp which gives an indication that the hackers might be using Office related files as disguise. The virus will also search for Shadow Volume Copies and remove them if found. Like other viruses of this type it will also establish a connection to a hacker-controlled server allowing the controllers to take control of the infected computers.

Maze Ransomware 2019 – Update November 2019

A recent security report gives details on one of the biggest and most dangerous consequences of a Maze ransomware infection. The hacking group behind the threat has published stolen data from the security company Allied Universal. The total size of the leaked data is about 700MB and according to the criminals it represents only 10% of the total hijacked information. They pressure to release all data if the company does not pay the criminal group a given ransom sum.

Details about this hack were published on several security portals after the hacking group has reached out to the online media giving information about the hijacked data. The criminals have sent an email to one of the larger specialized media sites and introduced themselves as “Hacking Crew”. An important note is that the published data may include very sensitive information regarding employees, the company and their clients. Allied Universal employs approximately 200,000 people and has a revenue which is over $7 billion. Following a review by the media it has been confirmed that the compromised information is authentic.

The Maze virus hackers are demanding the sum of 300 Bitcoins in order to restore the files that have been encrypted.
