Troldesh aka Shade ransomware is a type of crypto malicious ransomware which is extremely aggressive, and it averts
users from accessing their own system or their personal files. To regain access back, the gullible victim has to pay a heavy
price in the form of ransom fee. But what is unique about this ransomware is cybercriminals are open for negotiation with
the victims, and also to communicate with them directly. Attackers of troldesh ransomware directly provides an email
address and through this third parties interact with the victim, and they establish the ransom and payment method. While
other ransomware attacker’s contacts through an online page or TOR or often through the automated payments methods.

 The victim has to open these zip files
quickly and when he/she does that
malicious ransomware gets
downloaded. It uses strong encryption,
and sometimes it becomes difficult to
regain the access back. But the most
common method of distribution is it
spreads through pseudo email spam
containing the infiltrated attachments
or links just like other types of
ransomware.

Now let’s read further to know from where Shade originated and how Troldesh ransomware actually spreads or how
victims get spoofed. It originated in Russia since the attackers are from Russia and even note is written in Russian
linguistic.

So, let’s take a look at why Troldesh
ransomware is perilous for you and
your business operations. Once the
Troldesh ransomware gets
activated on the unsuspecting
victim’s
system then it encrypts their data,
it will display a note on the victim’s
computer with required
instructions for payment and this
pesky troldesh ransomware
rename all the files. It creates
further chaos in the computer of
the targeted victim since Troldesh
ransomware replaces the files
name and random characters and
add the XTBL extension. This
malicious ransomware drops the
copies of the text file on the
victim’s desktop and also a copy of
text files on each of the folder’s
encompassing encrypted files.
Through these dropped texts, the
victim is instructed to send specific
codes to the mentioned email
address.

Let’s look forward at the distinctive attributes of the troldesh ransomware and what makes it
stand out amongst the other types:

1. This perilous ransomware displays the unsolicited warning message on the victim’s system.

2. The cool but not so cool thing about this ransomware is victims directly establishes
conversations with the nefarious attackers. The good thing is they can negotiate the ransom
amount on their terms, and if they are able to convince the attackers, they obtain discounts
based on the direct correspondence.
3. Troldesh attackers play games with the victims, and no other type of ransomware does that
these attackers don’t send the same automated answer; instead, they try to trap the victim to
fall in their web.
4. It replaces all the files on the victim’s computer with encrypted copies in XTBL format. It
randomly and unusually drops text files on the victim’s system, and these files contain
information for the victims.
5. Once the victim sends the code to the mentioned email address, then the attackers send the
additional instructions, and they try to play smart and instruct the victim to send any of those
encrypted files to prove that they can actually decrypt it in real-time.
