Ransom.Zeppelin

Ransom.Zeppelin is Malwarebytes’ detection name  for a family of ransomware that is also known as Buran.

Ransom.Zeppelin is ransomware. Ransomware in general makes files on the victims system unusable until the ransom is paid. Ransom.Zeppelin is usually spread in malspam campaigns that use malicious documents or IQY files that infect and encrypt the users computer if the user enables the data source.

After encryption a ransom note named !!! ALL YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!!.TXT will be created that tells a victim to contact either stopcrypt@cock.email or decryptor@cock.email for payment instructions.

At the moment there is no free decryption tool available for Ransom.Zeppelin. Malwarebytes Nebula users can use the Ransomware rollback feature if files were encrypted before the anti-ransomware protection stopped the process.

All component/technology detections are passed to the remediation engine for complete removal from infected systems. This industry leading technology uses patented techniques in identifying all cohorts or associated files for a single threat and removes them all together to prevent malware from resuscitating itself. If you are using Malwarebytes Ransomware Rollback technology, it allows you to wind back the clock to negate the impact of ransomware by leveraging just-in-time backups.
