How to remove Jywd Ransomware and decrypt .jywd files

0
Jywd is a ransomware infection originating from the Djvu/STOP family. This family is a group of developers responsible for infecting a bunch of users with different file encryptors. Jywd is new, appeared in the end of March 2023, but has traits very similar to its precursors. Jywd Ransomware, like other variants of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family, uses a combination of AES-256 and RSA-1024 encryption algorithms to encrypt the victim's files. AES-256 is used to encrypt the files themselves, while RSA-1024 is used to encrypt the AES-256 key. This makes it extremely difficult to recover the encrypted files without the decryption key. The virus encrypts personal data while assigning the .jywd extension. To illustrate, a file called 1.pdf will experience a change to 1.pdf.jywd and reset its original icon after successful encryption. In order to decrypt the blocked data, victims are given instructions to follow inside a ransom note (_readme.txt).

How to remove @BLOCKED Ransomware and decrypt .@BLOCKED files

0
@BLOCKED is a ransomware infection that encrypts potentially valuable data and requires victims to perform certain actions in order to restore access to it. After running successful encryption, all filenames will be assigned a custom extension starting with a random string of characters and ending with @BLOCKED. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will change to something like 1.pdf.i34ot23@BLOCKED and become no longer accessible. Afterwards, successful encryption is followed by the creation of a ransom text note - also named with random characters preceding the ".txt" extension (for example, mesgwuibjpdrdum.txt). This note contains instructions on how to recover the encrypted data.
