Most threat actors distribute ransomware using emails, cracked software download pages (and other unreliable sources for downloading software and files), fake updaters, and Trojans.
More ransomware examples are Qall, Bozon, Unlocker. The key differences usually are the prices of decryption tools and cryptographic algorithms used to encrypt files. Also, most ransomware variants rename files by appending their extension to filenames. Typically, ransomware encrypts and renames files and generates a ransom note. This can be avoided by eliminating ransomware from the infected computer. Thus, paying a ransom is not recommended.Īnother important detail about ransomware is that it can encrypt more files on the infected device and (or) infect other computers on a local network. Moreover, there are no guarantees that cybercriminals will provide a decryption tool even after the payment. Victims of ransomware attacks cannot recover files without paying a ransom to attackers unless they have a working third-party decryption tool or a data backup that has been created before the attack. One of the ransom notes includes a list of types and the number of encrypted files. Threat actors can be contacted via the qTOX client using the provided qTOX chat IDs. The ransom notes claim that data is encrypted and will be published in three days if victims do not contact the attackers.
