The ransomware is associated with the STOP/Djvu family and is often distributed alongside other malware, including RedLine or Vidar. Once the encryption process is complete, Ahtw Ransomware renames each encrypted file by adding the extension .ahtw to its name. The criminals behind Ahtw Ransomware demand a ransom of $980 in exchange for the key and decryptor, which they claim is the only way to decrypt the encrypted files. Ahtw ransomware creates a ransom note named _readme.txt in each affected directory. The ransom note provides details on how to reach out to the attackers and instructions for making a ransom payment.
