Ransomware

Jaoy is a new version of notorious STOP/Djvu Ransomware, that is known to be the most widespread ransomware in history. Jaoy Ransomware encrypts files using a strong AES-256 encryption key algorithm. This encryption method is widely used and considered to be very secure. It is unlikely that victims will be able to decrypt their files without the decryption key provided by the attackers. Virus adds the .jaoy extension to the end of all encrypted file names. For example, a file named document.docx would become document.docx.jaoy after being encrypted by the ransomware. The ransom note created by Jaoy Ransomware is named _readme.txt and is left in all the folders containing encrypted files. The note demands a ransom of $490 to $980 and provides two email addresses for contact.

Invader Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. Once activated, Invader proceeds to encrypt the files on the victim's system and appends the .invader extension to filenames. The ransom note states that the victim's files have been encrypted and provides a contact email for unlocking. Invader ransomware uses an advanced encryption algorithm to lock files. It is designed to sneak into the targeted computer and encrypt the user’s data. Invader Ransomware does not really leave separate text ransom note. Instead it modifies desktop wallpaper, that contains contact email for unlocking.

Jasa Ransomware is a dangerous malware that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key to restore access to the encrypted files. Jasa Ransomware uses the Salsa20 encryption algorithm to encrypt files on the victim's computer. It scans each folder for the files it is able to encrypt. Then, when it finds the target, it makes a copy of the file, removes the original one, encrypts the copy, and leaves it instead of the removed original. Jasa Ransomware adds a .jasa extension to the end of the encrypted files to authenticate its presence. The encryption process is almost unbreakable, making it difficult to recover the encrypted files without the decryption key. The ransom note created by Jasa Ransomware is titled _readme.txt and is placed in all the folders that keep the encrypted files.

Jaqw Ransomware is a highly malicious crypto locker type of virus that encrypts the infected user’s files rendering them unusable. It is another variant of the STOP/DJVU malware group. It is worth noting that Djvu ransomware is frequently disseminated alongside information stealers like RedLine or Vidar by malicious actors. Jaqw functions by encrypting files and altering their filenames through the addition of the .jaqw extension. It encrypts all important file types, including databases, documents, photos, movies, and music. Jaqw Virus uses the Salsa20 encryption algorithm. This ransomware ciphers a wide selection of file types using a strong encryption algorithm. The ransom note generated by Jaqw is _readme.txt, which includes a message detailing the ransom demands. The ransom note issued by the attackers contains two email addresses.

NoBit is a new virus from ransomware category that encrypts data and demands payment for its decryption. It is a new generation ransomware builder that is dangerous and sophisticated, highlighting the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals. The ransomware builder’s straightforward interface enables even novice hackers to easily create potent ransomware strains. NoBit RAAS builder is active on the dark web marketplaces. Once the virus is executed, it immediately infects the system and communicates to remote server so that unique key can be generated for the specific computer. After acquiring the key, it starts to decrypt target files using a complex method that is almost unbreakable. NoBit ransomware encrypts files and appends their filenames with a .bit extension. This ransomware presents its ransom note in an opened window, modifies desktop wallpaper and does not create any text files.

Allahu Akbar is a new ransomware that encrypts data and demands payment for its decryption. Decryption have to be paid Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Once the ransomware infects a computer, it encrypts all major file types and appends a .allahuakbar extension to the original filenames. After the encryption process is completed, a ransom note named how_to_decrypt.txt is created. The ransom note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and obtain the decryption key. The message instructs victims to contact the malefactors – however, the contact details are invalid (test@test.com), which means that Allahu Akbar can be still in development. However, it is important to note that paying the ransom does not guarantee the recovery of the encrypted files. If your computer has been infected with Allahu Akbar Ransomware, it is recommended to remove the malware using special anti-malware software. We recommend Spyhunter or Norton Antivirus. However, it is essential to note that removing the malware does not decrypt the encrypted files. Finding a working decryption tool for Allahu Akbar Ransomware-infected data may be difficult, if not impossible.
