Ransomware

Poaz is a dangerous ransomware, that belongs to the Djvu family. It is a file-encrypting virus that encrypts files on the victim's computer and demands payment in exchange for a key and a decryptor that can restore access to the files. Poaz ransomware employs an RSA encryption algorithm, rendering all files inaccessible to the user. The ransomware manipulates the file structure through the use of advanced encryption techniques, making it inaccessible without the decryption key. It alters the names of the encrypted files by appending the .poaz extension. Encrypted files can be identified by this distinct extension, which makes them inaccessible and unusable. The ransomware generates a ransom note, a text file named _readme.txt, that provides instructions on how to make the payment and also often includes threats of data loss or ransom amounts surge if the demands are not met within a specified timeframe. The ransom note is dropped at every location where encrypted files are located.

LOCK2023 Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts various files stored on a computer system. It is a new variant of another ransomware known as CONTI. LOCK2023 Ransomware infiltrates systems via 'trojans'. Once infiltration is successful, this malware encrypts various files stored on the system. To achieve this, ransomware uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm and, therefore, a public and a private key is generated during encryption. LOCK2023 Ransomware appends the .LOCK2023 extension to filenames. For example, it renames 1.jpg to 1.jpg.LOCK2023, 2.png to 2.png.LOCK2023, and so forth. LOCK2023 Ransomware creates a ransom note named README.txt. The ransom note provides instructions on how to pay the ransom to decrypt the files.

Architects Ransomware is a type of file-encrypting malware, that enciphers files on a computer, making them unusable, and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. It is a data encryption Trojan that is designed to cheat money from users. Once it infects a computer, it encrypts all files on the PC, no matter what kind of files they are, and adds the .architects extension to their filenames. The ransom note is left in every directory containing encrypted files and is called readme.txt. The note instructs the victim to contact the attackers via email to buy the decryption key. There are no known decryption tools for Architects Ransomware. However, victims can seek help from legitimate data recovery companies, we recommend Stellar Data Recovery Professional. It is essential to have a reputable antivirus installed and kept updated, and security programs must be used to run regular system scans and remove detected threats and issues.

Black Berserk Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts data on a computer and demands payment for its decryption. It appends the .Black extension to the filenames of encrypted files. The ransomware uses a strong encryption algorithm, but the specific algorithm is not known. The ransom note created by Black Berserk Ransomware is called Black_Recover.txt. The note urges the victim to contact the attackers and states that the inaccessible files have been encrypted. Unfortunately, there are currently no decryption tools available for Black Berserk Ransomware. To prevent further encryption, the ransomware must be eliminated from the operating system. However, removal will not restore already compromised files. The sole solution is to recover them from a backup (if one was created prior and is stored elsewhere). It is highly recommended to keep backups in multiple different locations (e.g., remote servers, unplugged storage devices, etc.) to ensure data safety.

Wspn Ransomware is dangerous encryption virus, that enciphers sensitive data and demands a ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key to restore access to the encrypted files. Malware uses a combination of RSA and AES encryption algorithms to encrypt files. The encryption process is irreversible without the decryption key Wspn is a member of the Djvu ransomware family and modifies filenames by adding the .wspn extension to them. For example, Wspn alters the names of files such as sample.jpg to sample.jpg.wspn, sample2.png to sample2.png.wspn, and so on. Wspn Ransomware creates a ransom note named _readme.txt. The ransom note contains instructions on how to pay the ransom and obtain the decryption key. The ransom note is usually placed in every folder that contains encrypted files.

DUMP LOCKER Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts important personal files such as photos, videos, and documents on a victim's computer. It adds an extra extension to every file, creating a pop-up window in every folder that contains the encrypted files. Once the encryption process is completed, DUMP LOCKER displays a ransom note message through a pop-up window on the victim's system. This message informs victims that their files have been encrypted and provides instructions on how to pay the ransom to obtain the decryption tool and regain access to their data. DUMP LOCKER Ransomware adds an extra extension to every file, creating a pop-up window in every folder that contains the encrypted files. The extension used by DUMP LOCKER Ransomware is .f**ked (censored). After the encryption process is concluded, DUMP LOCKER Ransomware displays a ransom-demanding message in a pop-up window. The ransom note warns against restarting the infected device, as that will result in permanent data loss.

Wsuu Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a computer and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. It belongs to the Djvu/STOP family of ransomware. The ransomware encrypts a wide range of file types, including documents, pictures, and databases, and appends the .wsuu extension to the encrypted files, making them inaccessible and unusable. The ransom note is typically named _readme.txt and contains instructions on how to contact the criminals behind Wsuu and pay a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. The ransom amount ranges from $490 to $980, depending on the time passed after the attack, and is usually demanded in Bitcoin. Wsuu Ransomware uses the Salsa20 encryption algorithm to encrypt the files on the system. This encryption algorithm is not the strongest method, but it still provides an overwhelming amount of possible decryption keys. If Wsuu cannot establish a connection to the attacker's server before starting the encryption process, it uses the offline key. This key is the same for all victims, making it possible to decrypt .wsuu files in the future.

Wsaz Ransomware is a widespread cipher virus, that encrypts files on a victim's computer, making them inaccessible, and then demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. It is part of the Djvu ransomware family and is distributed through spam emails, fake software cracks, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system and installed programs. Once it infects a system, Wsaz alters the filenames of encrypted files by appending the .wsaz extension. For instance, a file named 1.jpg is renamed as 1.jpg.wsaz, 2.png becomes 2.png.wsaz, and so on. Wsaz Ransomware uses Salsa20 encryption algorithms to scramble the contents of the targeted files. The strong ciphering method employed by the Wsaz virus makes it quite challenging, if not impossible, to find the decryption key without cooperating with the attackers. Wsaz Ransomware generates a ransom note in a file named _readme.txt that is typically dropped in each affected folder.
