Anyone out there still trust Adobe Flash Player?
"DoubleLocker can change the device���s PIN, preventing victims from accessing their devices, and also encrypts the data it finds in them ��� a combination that has not been seen previously in the Android ecosystem. [...] It is distributed mostly as a fake Adobe Flash Player through compromised websites.
First, it changes the device���s PIN, effectively blocking the victim from using it. The new PIN is set to a random value which the attackes neither store nor send anywhere, so it���s impossible for the user or a security expert to recover it. After the ransom is paid, the attacker can remotely reset the PIN and unlock the device.
Second, DoubleLocker encrypts all files from the device���s primary storage directory. It utilizes the AES encryption algorithm, appending the extension ���.cryeye���. ���The encryption is implemented properly, which means that, unfortunately, there is no way to recover the files without receiving the encryption key from the attackers,��� says ��tefanko.
