What is PC-FunHACKED!?

PC-FunHACKED! is one of many ransomware-type programs online. This example is a new variant of Jigsaw ransomware and was discovered by Michael Gillespie. Like most programs of this type, it is designed to encrypt data and make ransom demands.

It displays a ransom message within a pop-up window, generates an "Address.txt" text file, which contains a Bitcoin wallet address, and a random "dr" file. In the version we tested, PC-FunHACKED! ransomware did not change the filename extension of encrypted files, however, in other cases, it has added the ".PC-FunHACKED!-Hello" extension tens of times.

For example, "1.jpg" might be renamed to "1.jpg.PC-FunHACKED!-Hello.PC-FunHACKED!-Hello.PC-FunHACKED!-Hello...", and so on.
