The Australian Cyber Security Centre has reiterated its advice to Australians regarding ransomware infections, saying that it strongly advised people not to pay any ransom.
The ACSC was responding to queries from iTWire about a Sydney-based company, Fast Data Recovery, that is offering to decrypt files which have been encrypted by the Dharma ransomware, something which nobody else has been able to do given the strength of encryption used.
"There's no guarantee paying will restore files, and paying a ransom could make victims vulnerable to further attacks," an ACSC spokesperson said in a statement.
"We advise Australian individuals and businesses affected by ransomware to log a cyber crime report via ReportCyber."
Ransomware, which mostly affects computers running Windows, has become something of a scourge among businesses, with frequent attacks targeting them and rendering them unable to operate for lengthy periods. The case of Fast Data Recovery was brought to the attention of iTWire by Brett Callow, a researcher with security company Emsisoft.
Callow sent the company a file encrypted by Dharma and made it clear that he did not wish to pay the ransom. "The company claimed it would be able to 'reverse engineer the ransomware decryption key' for a fee of US$6879/A$9650," he said.
"Unless you have access to a quantum computer more advanced than any machine known to have been built, it’s simply not possible to 'reverse engineer the ransomware decryption key'.
"Dharma uses perfectly implemented RSA-1024 and the key needed to decrypt a victim’s files can only be created by the criminal or someone with access to the criminal’s private key."

The king is dead, long live the king Time’s up for ISDN and traditional telephony, while cloud hosted PBX phone systems are soaring. 30th September 2019, marks the end for traditional telephony in Australia. After a few false-starts and delays, today Telstra is officially starting to decommission ISDN services. Shutdown of the ISDN (integrated services digital network) means the full disconnection of these services. This doesn’t only impact the phone lines, it also includes any phone numbers that haven’t yet been transitioned to Business VoIP. That means that any businesses caught out will face a situation where they not only are disconnected from making outbound calls until they find a replacement solution, but will also lose their phone numbers and their inbound calls – an unparalleled risk to Australian businesses that could cause significant impacts to revenue and customer relations for those caught out. The ISDN has been the fixed line telephony option for businesses for decades, offering offices multiple simultaneous calls over a single connection. With the rise of SIP and Business VoIP services, organisations have instead been able to gain access to their phone services over the top (OTT) of existing internet and network connections – gaining flexibility and redundancy, while also being able to lower costs.What Is ISDN? As a pioneer of converged voice and data solutions in Australia, Over the Wire (ASX:OTW) has been at the forefront of this trend for well over a decade, having seen the writing on the wall for ISDN for quite some time. With the rise of OTT voice services, sales of traditional on-premises phone systems have plummeted in favour of cloud hosted PBX phone systems. These offer centralisation of the system for all branches for seamless collaboration, high-availability for ultimate usability from anywhere, and ease of access to reports and dashboards to help provide additional insights previously out of reach for most businesses. The enormous benefits to functionality and pricing made the mass exodus from ISDN (even before the shutdown was announced) no surprise to those in the industry. Even still, many companies still haven’t made the change, which is putting their business at risk. Protecting Your Business Preparation is key to surviving the ISDN shutdown, with a guide available to help businesses navigate the challenge. First and foremost, it is important to understand your risk exposure. The ISDN Shutdown Survival Guide will help you start planning, with Over the Wire available to help design and implement the best transition for you to keep your business connected. Speak to the expert team today and make sure your business is prepared. About Over the Wire At Over the Wire (ASX:OTW) we simplify technology to empower business. We partner with our customers to tailor solutions leveraging our four main service pillars: Data Networks, Voice Solutions, Hosting Solutions, and Security & IT Support.

An Android banking trojan, that targets users of the Australian Government's my.gov.au site and also users of the National Australia Bank website, has been spotted by security firm Kaspersky, which claims the malware is adopting what it describes as "unusual" tactics. Card-skimming actors have hit the booking websites of two unnamed chain-brand hotels, the security firm Trend Micro says, adding that this was the second time it had seen a case of this threat actor hitting an ecommerce service provider directly instead of an individual store or a third-party supply chain. Australian dedicated multi-sports streaming service Kayo Sports says an isolated issue with one of its network providers, that affected a small number of customers, caused errors during streaming of Rugby World Cup matches on Sunday. Australian companies are still lagging on the use of analytics in their businesses according to a new research report which shows they also continue to fall behind global peers in analytics maturity and impact. Location data provider PSMA has changed its brand and sales model, rebranding as Geoscape and offering customers location data directly. Credit provider American Express cards are now useable on Sydney’s contactless payments system which is being rolled out by Transport NSW.
