What is Blue Eagle ransomware? And how does it execute its attack?

Blue Eagle ransomware is a new file-encrypting threat capable of taking victim’s files as hostage in exchange for a ransom. This new ransomware was first observed in the final weeks of October 2017. According to researchers, Blue Eagle seems to be created by an independent group of hackers. After its successful infiltration, Blue Eagle ransomware scans all the directories in the affected computer looking for files to encrypt. It seems to target files with the following file extensions:
.aif, .apk, .arj, .asp, .bat, .bin, .cab, .cda, .cer, .cfg, .cfm, .cpl, .css, .csv, .cur, .dat, .deb, .dmg, .dmp, .doc, .docx, .drv, .gif, .htm, .html, .icns, .iso, .jar, .jpeg, .jpg, .jsp, .log, .mid, .mp3, .mp4, .mpa, .odp, .ods, .odt, .ogg,.part, .pdf, .php, .pkg, .png, .ppt, .pptx, .psd, .rar, .rpm, .rss, .rtf, .sql, .svg, .tar.gz, .tex, .tif, .tiff, .toast, .txt, .vcd, .wav, .wks, .wma, .wpd, .wpl, .wps, .wsf, .xlr, .xls, .xlsx, .zip.
The ransomware then starts its attack by encrypting the files using the AES encryption algorithm and appends the .SaherBlueEagleRansomware extension on each of the files. Once it is done with the encryption, Blue Eagle opens a program window that displays the following text:
“Blue Eagle Ransomware

This is actually an absurd amount and you should not even consider paying these crooks – not even a cent as it does not really guarantee that they will hold their end of the bargain and give you the decryption key or special tool to decrypt your files. The best thing you can try to do to recover your files is to use the Windows
