How do I know if our company has been hit with Dharma Ransomware?
A Dharma Encryption payload is a so-called Ransomware Trojan that encrypts an entire PC or a plethora if not all machines on your network. First discovered roundabout the 21st of October, 2017, Dharma Ransomware was originally known as Crysis and had a close relationship to XTBL. Once files are encrypted, hackers proceed to demand a bitcoin payment to remove the ransomware encryption.
There are over 30 variants of the virus with a number of file extensions such as .BMP, .BIP, and .COMBO among many others.
Just like most other ransomware variants, Dharma is most commonly spread via an open RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) port, either through the use of various exploits and vulnerabilities inherent to Remote Desktop of through dictionary or brute force attacks. Once access is gained by the attackers, various methods are employed to spread laterally such as the use of Mimikatz to gain administrative access or control over more machines within the network. All the while the attackers poise themselves to launch their encryption at the opportune time whilst monitoring company activities to determine value and perfect their strategy.

Dharma ransomware statistics & facts
RANSOM AMOUNTS
The nature of a Dharma Ransomware attack is different depending on the hacker or hacker group behind the attack. This amounts to varying degrees of ransom amounts that each hacker or group charges.
The average Dharma ransom amount is somewhere between $2,000–$8,000. However, over the last year, the average amount has begun to exceed $8,000. In addition, approximately 10% of Bitcoin exchange fees will apply to the use of quick-buy methods such as PayPal or credit card.
AVERAGE LENGTH
The Dharma ransomware downtime is a bit longer than normal ransomware attacks. The manual process of email-based communication with the attackers can add a considerable delay in the response time.
Depending on your company size and how often you use IT-systems in your daily business, this is the most expensive part of this incident. Additional to the unavailability of your IT-systems, this is damaging your company reputation.
Your goal should be to get your systems back to a productive state as soon as possible. The best way to do this is to call in experts, which have a vast knowledge of Dharma ransomware and get the IT-systems back up running.
CASE OUTCOMES
There is a high chance to get a working Dharma decryptor after paying the attackers. But there’s never a guarantee to get a working decryption key at all.
Depending on the file extension and email address of the attackers, there are different chances of getting a working Dharma decryptor after payment.
Some attackers have a good reputation for providing working Dharma decryptors. Others are known as scammers and will never give a Dharma decryptor.
