"Strange Ransomware Markets Decryptor on Roblox Game Pass Store"

A decryptor for a new ransomware called 'WannaFriendMe' is being sold on the Roblox gaming platform using the service's in-game Robux currency. Roblox is a popular game, with more than 50 million daily active users worldwide. The gaming platform allows users to make their own games and monetize them by selling Game Passes, providing players access to in-game products, unique features, and more. Members must use Robux, a virtual currency, to purchase these Game Passes. According to the MalwareHunter Team, the WannaFriendMe ransomware imitates the Ryuk ransomware, but it is a variation of the Chaos ransomware. In June 2021, a malicious actor began selling a Chaos ransomware builder, which allowed would-be criminals to customize ransom notes, encrypted file extensions, and other aspects of their ransomware epidemic. This article continues to discuss the WannaFriendMe ransomware and the decryptor made available for purchase on the Roblox gaming platform.
