Dy8wud Ransomware

What is Dy8wud?

First discovered by malware security researcher, GrujaRS, Dy8wud is a ransomware-type virus that belongs to the Scarab malware family. Dy8wud stealthily infiltrates computers and encrypts most stored files. During this procedure, Dy8wud renames each compromised filename to a random string and adds the ".dy8wud" extension to each encrypted file.

For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "0H=vFTjLjHdX5ofPA+jeArLHUXEKfNmbYgvjJKPZTg.dy8wud". Encrypted data becomes unusable and virtually indistinguishable. Once data is encrypted, Dy8wud generates a text file ("HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT") and places it on the desktop.
