Hi there,

It isn't clear to me if you have a ClamAV installation or not.  If you
do, you can presumably get a copy of the malware and scan for it.  If
you don't, and you don't want to, then you could submit a sample to a
Website like Jotti's:

https://virusscan.jotti.org/

which will scan it using a couple of dozen scanners, ClamAV included.

... with the current definitions.

Please define "the current definitions". :)  There are many third-party
signatures.  Depending on requirements at a particular site, they may or
may not be in use at that site.  For example, I'm mainly interested in
filtering mail for spam.  So I use a lot of third party spam signatures
but I make little effort to add to ClamAV's 'official' virus database.

I came across an article that basically said to dump the database
and search for the name...

But which name?  There's no universal naming convention for malware.
However, in this case, maybe you're in luck:

$ grep -ia friedex /var/lib/clamav/databases/*
daily.cld:Win.Ransomware.Friedex-6961100-0;Engine:81-255,Target:1;[snip]

Of course there could be a whole family of the little varmints.

... I can’t find anywhere on the website to submit data for a known
piece of ransomware ...

My first search:

https://www.bing.com/search?q=clamav+submit+virus

The first hit:

https://www.clamav.net/reports/malware

But it would be as well to check first that it isn't already covered.
