The Teslacrypt binary itself is compiled with Visual C++. When it is created, this executable will launch and begin scanning the user 's drives for data it can encrypt. Once a file is targeted, Teslacrypt will encrypt it via an AES cipher, store sha-256 of different keys in key.dat and create a new file extension. File extensions vary depending on the version of Teslacrypt the computer is infected with. Currently, the known file extensions are: ecc, .ezz, .exx, .xyz, .zzz, .aaa,…
