Qdla Ransomware

▤ Summary

Cybercriminals are deploying a new threatening ransomware variant from the extremely prolific STOP/Djvu malware family. It aims to infect the targeted devices and then run a strong encryption routine, rendering most of the files stored there inaccessible and usable. The hackers then demand to be paid a hefty ransom from victims who wish to restore their private or corporate information. Typically, the ransomware operators promise to provide the victim with the specific decryption key and related software tool. Finally, the note also mentions that victims can send 1 single encrypted file with no important information that will then supposedly be unlocked for free.
