Gayn Ransomware is a file-encrypting virus that is part of the Djvu/STOP family of ransomware. It is a highly destructive computer virus that uses the strong RSA encryption algorithm to encrypt all of your personal documents, videos, pictures, databases, and other data, making them inaccessible and demanding payment in exchange for the decryption key. The virus is typically distributed through various means, including disguising itself as freeware, hacked software, or key generators. Once it infects a computer, the ransomware creates a folder in the Windows system directory and copies itself to it. Gayn Ransomware encrypts various file types, such as documents, pictures, and databases. Encrypted files have a new .gayn extension added to their original names, making them unreadable and unusable. The ransomware drops a file named _readme.txt in all directories where encrypted files are located. This note informs the victim that their files have been encrypted and that they will need to pay a ransom to obtain the decryption key. The ransom note also contains instructions on how to contact the hackers and make the payment.
