“The developer behind Tox, a ransomware-as-a-service tool that only surfaced late last month, acknowledged in a post on Pastebin Wednesday that despite his plan to stay ‘quiet and hidden,’ he’s quickly found himself over his head. Now the malware author is looking to sell Tox but claims if no one buys it he’ll just release the keys and decrypt his victim’s files. Tox is encouraging prospective buyers to contact him to purchase both source code and documentation for the ransomware, adding that he’ll entertain offers for the platform and virus together, or as a package deal, alongside an additional database and .onion private key.”
