Some "Minecraft" players will spread the "ALT List" files, which contains the stolen account.The ALT list file is not a necessary file to use this game, but many players can attack other players in the game and ensure that they are not banned by themselves.There are a lot of demand.Generally, these files are shared free of charge between the game community.

The hacker who spreads the extortion virus is the use of the ALT list that players are widely circulated to embed the Trojan horses to attack the user's computer.

Specifically, after encrypted users' files, Chaos ransomware will turn the extension into a random four characters, and at the same time, it will leave a file called "Readme".Hackers require users to pay the ransom of 2,000 yen (about 112 yuan) to unlock the files, but it is more serious that the ransomware will inject garbleds in the files greater than 2MB, which will be completely damaged by the file.File recovers.

The editor learned that the hacker camouflated the virus as a familiar Alt text file that the player "Minecraft" players, but in fact this is an executable file.Players will be infected with the virus without scanning.
