Obliterating Fireeye Ransomware (Crypto-Malware/Ransomware)

What is Fireeye ransomware? And how does it carry out its attack?

Fireeye ransomware is a file-encrypting virus which according to security experts, is still in the development phase. However, it is still capable of locking files. It enters a targeted computer using a payload dropper with the following parameters:
SHA-256 – 541ba8d2800cf9044a06b6411e877b769894982c5a0c996832de916515d2e1cc
Name – CrackerSocialNetwork V3.5.exe
Size – 2.17 MB
After its infiltration, Fireeye ransomware drops its payload file which contains the following data:
SHA-256 – abab1e140e7dc7291e62094470d38beaaedcc22e36d7cc10047f6242ebafdd1b
Name – BlackRansomwareFireeye.exe
Size – 1.35 MB
The malicious payload may be placed on Windows directories in order to launch and repress processes that might interfere with Fireeye ransomware’s attack. It may also modify some registry entries to allow the crypto-malware to run on every system boot. After all these modifications, it starts encrypting targeted data and then appends the “.jes” extension on each one of them. Following the encryption, it then releases its ransom note that states:
“what is happening?
