Ransomware

Harward Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands payment for their decryption. It is a dangerous form of ransomware that can cause significant damage to personal and business data. The ransomware is named after the file extension it adds to encrypted files, which is .harward. The encryption method used by Harward Ransomware is not yet known. However, it is known that decryption is impossible without the attackers' interference. Right after encryption virus places ransom note FILE ENCRYPTED.txt. The ransom note created by Harward Ransomware reassures the victim that the cybercriminals are capable of restoring the encrypted files and instructs them to initiate the process by sending the criminals a locked file to test decryption.

G-STARS Ransomware, also known as Phobos, is a type of malware that encrypts data on the victim's system and then demands payment from the victim in exchange for the decryption key. G-STARS is a malicious program belonging to the Phobos ransomware family. It is propagated through spam email attachments, pornographic websites, cost-free programs, and vulnerable web servers. Once it infects a computer, it encrypts files and alters their names by appending a unique ID, the email address of the cybercriminals, and the .G-STARS extension. G-STARS Ransomware drops its ransom notes, the (info.txt), in the infected computer's directories containing encrypted files and creates a pop-up window (info.hta). As many other ransomware viruses G-STARS uses the Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256 alongside another popular algorithm, RSA-1024.

Trash Panda Ransomware is a new encryption virus that locks data on a computer and demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. It is a dangerous computer virus developed by hackers for commercial purposes. Trash Panda Ransomware is usually hidden in spam emails that look legitimate and trustworthy. When a user downloads and opens the malicious attached files, Trash Panda Ransomware encrypts all files on the computer. As a result, the user has to spend a huge amount of money to buy a decryption key from the Trash Panda Ransomware maker. Once the encryption process is complete, the Trash Panda Ransomware appends the .monochrome extension to the names of all affected files. It also generates a file, named [random_string]-readme.html which serves as a ransom note.

Yytw Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a computer system and demands a ransom to be paid to allegedly recover them. It is a variant of the STOP/DJVU malware group. During the analysis of malware samples uploaded to VirusTotal, it was discovered that Yytw is linked to the Djvu family. The encryption algorithm used by Yytw is Salsa20, which is not the strongest method, but it still provides an overwhelming amount of possible decryption keys. Yytw Ransomware appends the .yytw extension to the filenames of the encrypted files. For example, sample1.jpg would be changed to sample1.jpg.yytw and sample2.png would be changed to sample2.png.yytw. Yytw Ransomware generates a ransom note in the form of a text file named _readme.txt. The ransom note instructs the victims to pay a defined amount to receive a decryption key that can unlock their files. The ransom amount ranges from $490 to $980 (in Bitcoins).

Yyza Ransomware is an encryption virus, that locks files on a computer and demands payment from the victim to restore access to the files. It is part of the notorious STOP/Djvu ransomware family. The malware is spread through malicious files disguised as freeware, key generators, and hacked games, which are commonly found on file-sharing and torrent sites. Once installed, Yyza encrypts all files on the victim’s computer, adding the .yyza extension to the filenames. Yyza Ransomware uses a file encryption method that is currently unbreakable without the decryption key. yza Ransomware creates a ransom note named _readme.txt. The note instructs the victim to pay a specified amount for a decryption key that can unlock their files. Our instructions below may help you remove malware and recover the files.

CryBaby Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts data on a computer and demands payment for the decryption of the files. CryBaby Ransomware was discovered by researchers while inspecting new submissions to the VirusTotal website. CryBaby Ransomware is classified as ransomware because it encrypts data and demands payment for the decryption. CryBaby Ransomware adds the .lockedbycrybaby extension to the filenames of encrypted files. For example, a file originally named 1.jpg appears as 1.jpg.lockedbycrybaby, 2.png as 2.png.lockedbycrybaby, and so on. CryBaby Ransomware uses encryption to lock the files on a computer. The encryption method used by CryBaby Ransomware is not discovered. After the encryption process is concluded, CryBaby Ransomware displays a ransom note in a pop-up window. The ransom note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and obtain the decryption key.

Popn Ransomware is a harmful virus that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. It belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family and is usually distributed through malicious websites, spam emails, fake software cracks, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system and installed programs. Once the ransomware is downloaded and executed, it initiates the encryption process on the victim's system, irrespective of the distribution method. Cybercriminals employ a wide range of file types, including PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and more. Popn appends .popn extensions to files and utilizes a file renaming pattern, transforming files such as 1.jpg into 1.jpg.popn, 2.png into 2.png.popn etc. The ransomware generates a ransom note called _readme.txt that instructs the victims to pay a specific amount to receive a decryption key to restore access to their files. Failing to meet the payment deadline might result in the irreversible loss of the compromised data.

Krize Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. Krize Ransomware was discovered by the PCrisk team while examining samples uploaded to the VirusTotal platform. Krize Ransomware appends the .krize extension to filenames. Krize Ransomware uses encryption to lock the victim's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. Since Krize Ransomware is a relatively new ransomware, security software developers have not yet found a way to reverse its work. Krize Ransomware creates a file named leia_me.txt containing a ransom note in each directory containing encrypted files. The ransom note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and a warning that it is impossible to decrypt the files without the decryption key.
