K1ng Ransomware

▤ Summary

Such threats are deployed onto breached devices with the goal of encrypting the data found there. The cybercriminals can then blackmail their victims for money, by promising to help them restore the encrypted files after being paid a hefty ransom. The threat will first generate an ID string for the specific victim and then add it to the original names of all encrypted files. The hackers state that users should not rename any of the affected files or try to decrypt them with third-party tools, as doing so could cause permanent damage. Decryption of your files with the help of third parties may cause increased price (they add their fee to our) or you can become a victim of a scam.
