BLOCK Ransomware
Summary
However, the cybercriminals responsible for unleashing the BLOCK Ransomware appear to be targeting Russian-speaking users predominantly. The file containing the ransom note of the threat is named КАК РАСШИФРОВАТЬ ФАЙЛЫ.txt and the instructions from the hackers are entirely in Russian without any translation into other languages. The BLOCK Ransomware is capable of encryption a large number of file types ensuring that most of the victims data stored on the compromised system will be rendered unusable. There is a previously detected malware named Block Ransomware that, curiously, also targets Russian-speaking users. The message doesnt state how victims are supposed to transfer the money, so users will need to contact the hackers for additional information.
