Today MalwareHunterTeam discovered a new variant of the Cryptomix Ransomware that appends the .BACKUP extension to encrypted files, changes the contact email, and slightly changes the ransom note's name.

In this article I will provide a brief summary of any changes that have occurred in this new variant.  As we are always looking for weaknesses, if you are a victim of this variant and decide to pay the ransom, please send us the decryptor so we can take a look at it. You can also discuss or receive support for Cryptomix ransomware infections in our dedicated Cryptomix Help & Support Topic.
