Vehu Ransomware is a malicious software that encrypts files on a victim's computer, rendering them inaccessible without a decryption key. It is part of the STOP/DJVU ransomware family, which is known for targeting personal photos, documents, and other important files. Once the files are encrypted, the ransomware demands payment, typically in cryptocurrency, in exchange for the decryption key. Once Vehu ransomware infects a computer, it encrypts files and appends a specific extension to the filenames. The encrypted files typically receive the .vehu extension, indicating that they have been locked by this particular strain of ransomware. The encryption used is robust, often employing strong cryptographic algorithms that make unauthorized decryption extremely challenging without the specific key held by the attackers. After encrypting the files, Vehu ransomware generates a ransom note named _README.txt or a similar variant, which is placed in folders containing the encrypted files or on the desktop. This note contains instructions on how to contact the attackers and the amount of ransom required, usually demanded in Bitcoin. The note also often includes warnings against using third-party decryption tools, claiming that they may cause permanent data loss.
