How to remove Wzqw Ransomware and decrypt .wzqw files

0
Wzqw Ransomware is a type of malware that belongs to the Djvu family. It encrypts various files on a victim's computer and adds the .wzqw extension to their initial filenames. The encryption is done using the AES-256 algorithm (CFB mode) encryption algorithm. Once the encryption is successful, the users are unable to access their files without the decryption key. The ransom note, located within the _readme.txt file, underscores that the process of decrypting files solely relies on specialized decryption software and an exclusive key. The ransom note also demands a ransom payment in Bitcoin from the victims, which ranges from $490 to $980, depending on the time passed after the attack. The note instructs the victim to make payment for decryption using Bitcoins, with the ransom amount contingent on the speed of response. Once payment is made, the decryption tool will be provided to unlock the encrypted files. As a guarantee, the note suggests that the victim can send up to 5 files for free decryption. The total size of these files should not exceed 4 MB, and they should not contain valuable data such as databases, backups, or large Excel sheets.

How to remove Jasa Ransomware and decrypt .jasa files

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.
