Anime is the name of a cryptovirus. It is designed to render system-stored data inaccessible and no longer operatable. Users infected with ransomware can see the encryption process by looking at the restricted files - all of them end up changed with the .anime extension. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will be altered to 1.pdf.anime and reset its original icon as well. After getting things done with encryption, the virus pitches ransom instructions on how to recover the data. They can be found inside of a text file called I_LOVE_ANIME.txt. As stated in the note, victims have 2 days to contact cybercriminals at zdarovachel@gmx.at and pay for the decryption of files. Should victims fail to meet the allocated deadline, all the encrypted data will be published on dark web resources for future abuse. In addition, ransomware developers also advise against modifying the files or trying to decrypt them without cybercriminals. At the moment of writing this article, there is no guaranteed way to decrypt data for free without the help of initial developers.

Unlike other infections of this kind, the virus targets specific and quite unusual file formats - .config, .cfg, .js, .NOOB, .lua, .lw, and .tryme as well. It therefore modifies them with the .KASHIMA extension. For instance, a file like 1.js will change to 1.js.KASHIMA, 1.cfg to 1.cfg.KASHIMA and so forth with other affected data. As soon as this process gets done, Kashima displays a pop-up message (KashimaWare WARNING!) accross the whole screen.

Sorryitsjustbusiness is the name of a ransomware virus. Alike other infections of this type, it encrypts personal data and blackmails victims into paying a ransom. The encryption process may be easily spotted by looking at affected files. Sorryitsjustbusiness changes their original extensions to random characters and resets icons to blank. To illustrate, a file like 1.pdf may change to 1.pdf.ws9y, 1.png to 1.png.kqfb, and so forth with other random extensions and files. Following successful encryption, the virus creates a text note called read_it.txt and installs new desktop wallpapers. Both text note and wallpapers display information on how to recover the data. Victims are said it is necessary to buy an exclusive key to decrypt their files. The cost of this key is whopping 150,000$ to be paid in Bitcoin to the attached crypto address. After the transfer is made, victims should inform the swindlers by sending a message to their e-mail address (sorryitsjustbusiness@protonmail.com). If victims fail to do this within 24 hours after getting infected, the price for decryption will double. It is also mentioned that encrypted files will be deleted after 48 hours of victims' inaction. Based on the demanded amount of ransom, we can then assume that Sorryitsjustbusiness's aim is set on companies with a good level of earnings. As a rule, it is not advised to trust cybercriminals and pay the ransom they want.
