Pouu Ransomware (subtype of STOP Ransomware) continues its malicious activity in the end of January 2023, and now adding .pouu extensions to encrypted files. The malware aims most important and valuable files: photos, documents, databases, videos, archives and encrypts them using AES-256 algorithms. Encrypted files become unusable and cybercriminals start extorting ransom. If the hacker server is unavailable (the PC is not connected to the Internet, the server itself does not work), then the encrypter uses the key and identifier that is hard-coded in it and performs offline encryption. In this case, it will be possible to decrypt the files without paying the ransom. Pouu Ransomware creates _readme.txt file, that is called "ransom note", on the desktop and in the folders with encrypted files. Developers use the following e-mails for contact: support@freshmail.top and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc.

BIDON Ransomware is a new variant of the MONTI Ransomware. It is a type of malware that encrypts files and demands payment for their decryption.

Poaz is a dangerous ransomware, that belongs to the Djvu family. It is a file-encrypting virus that encrypts files on the victim's computer and demands payment in exchange for a key and a decryptor that can restore access to the files. Poaz ransomware employs an RSA encryption algorithm, rendering all files inaccessible to the user. The ransomware manipulates the file structure through the use of advanced encryption techniques, making it inaccessible without the decryption key. It alters the names of the encrypted files by appending the .poaz extension. Encrypted files can be identified by this distinct extension, which makes them inaccessible and unusable. The ransomware generates a ransom note, a text file named _readme.txt, that provides instructions on how to make the payment and also often includes threats of data loss or ransom amounts surge if the demands are not met within a specified timeframe. The ransom note is dropped at every location where encrypted files are located.
