What is W2tnk ransomware?

W2tnk is a new variant of the Hive ransomware. It operates by encrypting data for the purpose of making ransom demands for the decryption. In other words, victims cannot access the files affected by W2tnk, and they are asked to pay - to restore access to their data.

During the encryption process, files are appended with an extension consisting of a random character string and ".w2tnk" (e.g., ".[random_string].w2tnk"). For example, a file titled "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.KtUB5y9YUIkhr-nE5uQFND-LsaLA025U9cGyRLCb1y-qJC4Fb46kGCqxHHef6dlu.w2tnk".
