Kqgs Ransomware
Summary
Tracked as the Kqgs Ransomware by cybersecurity experts, this threat is another destructive variant belonging to the STOP/Djvu family that has been unleashed in the wild and is capable of locking users out from accessing their own private or work-related files. Indeed, nearly all of the documents, PDFs, photos, images, archives, databases, audio and video files, stored on the compromised devices will be encrypted and rendered unusable completely. The hackers will then demand to be paid a hefty ransom if they are to assist the victims in restoring the encrypted data. The signature signing that Kqgs Ransomware is responsible for the attack on the targeted devices is the extension it uses to mark all locked files. As part of their message, Kqgs Ransomwares victims can attach one encrypted file that the hackers promise to unlock and send back for free.
