A sophisticated ransomware family called Yurei has emerged, targeting Windows systems with advanced encryption methods. It rapidly encrypts data using ChaCha20 and ECIES, appends .Yurei to files, and disables recovery options. The malware spreads via SMB shares, removable drives, and credential-based remote execution. It employs anti-forensics techniques, including log wiping and secure deletion. Yurei features double-extortion capabilities, threatening data leaks alongside ransom demands. Analysis suggests possible code reuse from the Prince ransomware. The ransomware's professional build, stealthy propagation, and high operational speed make it a significant threat designed for irreversible data compromise.
