Computer viruses are harmful programs that can convey through various methods and usually using Internet connection and compromised files. Most computer viruses can be detected by security programs like Anti-virus and Anti-malware. However, there are still some that can conceal their presence by exploiting vulnerabilities on the operating system.
Fhkf ransomware is a crypto-virus that is able to lock certain files on the infected computer, mostly documents, spreadsheets, archives, databases, images, videos, and similar data. If it manages to encrypt the target files, they will have a new extension with identifiable sets of strings and a .fhkf suffix.
Vfgj ransomware is another hazardous file-locking virus. The people behind this ransomware are relying on various deployment schemes to get hold of random victims. Hence, Vfgj code is often found embedded to email attachment that purportedly sent by prominent organization.
Zaqi ransomware is a malware that originates from Stop/DJVU family. Computer virus like this can struck the computer in many ways. This ransomware can be so damaging once executed on the computer.
Nqhd ransomware is a data-locker virus that uses a complex method to encrypt valuable files of its victims and remains inaccessible until a ransom fee is paid. Using a unique algorithm, the only way to recover the files is through a decryption tool provided by Nqhd developers.
The Vgkf computer threat is a new version from STOP ransomware group and it is deemed as one of the widely spread viruses to date. Similar to older versions, it was programmed to launch multiple hazardous actions on the infected computer once user executes the carrier file.
The release of Dehd ransomware is a testament that STOP-DJVU ransomware is not slowing down. In fact, it proves to be the most widely-spread ransomware to this day. This malware is aiming on infecting PC users and the sole objective is to extort money from them by making important files as hostage.
The revelation of Loov ransomware just uncovers that its source, DJVU/STOP family is persistently growing new variations for quite some time. Once in a while, the malware family demonstrates to make two versions in a single week like on account of Miia and Sbpg, which were subsequently sent over the web.
Miia ransomware is a crypto-virus, which is compromising Windows computers having expectations of swindling money from its casualties. When Miia ransom virus is active on the computer system, it can harm the operation and cause vulnerabilities for succeeding malware assaults.
Sbpg ransomware is a virus that objectively encrypts important user’s files on the computer. Some of the files it targets are .doc, .xls, .ppt, .pdf, .dwg, .zip, .rar, .jpg, .png, .sql, .html, and so on. After encrypting said data, the ransomware virus then appends it with .sbpg file extension.
A new ransomware that was dubbed Xcmb was discovered by malware researchers and claims that it is part of STOP/DJVU clan. Obviously, the name was derived from the extension that it appends in every encrypted data, which is .xcmb file extension.
