    Re: The Netherlands - what digital country is this

    Official computers of three cities (Borsele, Weert and Den Bosch) in The Netherlands have been infected by what seems to be a variant of a Sasfis Trojan.
    McAfee has released an extra.dat file that seems to be able to clean and recover infected files.

    Emsisoft have just released a free decryption tool for the Dorifel crypto malware currently paralyzing many systems in the Nertherlands, many of them companies or Government ones.

    More info also on :
    with a list of AV vendors and their detection names for it.
    (note that detection is not the same as recovering)

    Maybe it is better when posts 14 through 17 are split off of this thread to a new thread called "XDocCrypt/Dorifel". It is no longer only a Dutch problem.
    I'll ask the mod team.

    Thanks Ron for splitting this thread off of the other thread.

    =====

    The initial post about calling it "Sasfis Trojan" was not correct. Sorry about that.

    =====

    The virus is spreading around in The Netherlands, and is expected to do so more, also because of the holiday time.

    The virus was not only seen in The Netherlands. The Fox-IT blog from last night showed the spreading at that moment.

    The Fox-IT blog is really interesting.

    Michael Sandee (of Fox-IT) posted there also a reply about having received an Hermes banking trojan that at that moment was detected by zero AV's at VirusTotal.

    =====

    Mark Loman has also posted a reply in the Hitman Pro Support and Discussion Thread.

    Dorifel is much bigger than expected and it's still active and growing!

    Thanks siljaline for the Kaspersky link; appreciated!
    The Kaspersky blog is mentioning a relationship with ZeuS/Citadel. Other sites/blogs have been telling the same. Maybe too early to tell, but when several researchers are thinking the same, well then...

    The Kaspersky blog is telling that KAV detects it, which is of course good! Another thing is however, as I already posted, whether it is also capable of recovering (decrypting) the encrypted Office files. (Well, you could say of course that that is your responsibility to have good backups). The "Damn Those Problems" site is quoting for example Tammy Stewart of GFI (VIPRE).

    Maybe it is good that I post the Changelog of the decrypter tool as already mentioned:
    http://www.surfright.nl/nl/support/dorifel-decrypter

    The Dutch "National Cyber Security Centrum" is saying that there are now no more coming new infected computers in Holland. We will see; maybe a bit early to tell.
    They are also telling that they are getting stories of phonecalls in poor English offering to clean machines (of course asking for big money).

    An updated stand -alone removal tool for Win32/Quervar.C, is available here. I would like to thank ESET for adding the tool to the other stand-alone removal utilities. !
