What kind of malware is Rapid?

First discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie, Rapid is another ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates systems without consent. Once infiltrated, Rapid encrypts stored data and appends filenames with the ".rapid" extension (for instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.rapid").

Updated variants of this ransomware use ".no_more_ransom" extension for encrypted files. From this point, using files becomes impossible.

Immediately after infiltration, Rapid generates a text file ("! How Decrypt Files.txt"), placing in every existing folder. Updated variants of this ransomware use ".droprapid" extension for encrypted files, ransom demanding message is presented in "!DECRYPT_DROPRAPID.txt" file.
