What is SNSLocker?

SNSLocker is ransomware that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts various files stored on victims' computers. Types of targeted files include .bmp, .mp4, .doc, and many others.

To encrypt these files, SNSLocker uses the AES-256 algorithm. Therefore, two keys (public and private) are generated during encryption - public encrypt and private to decrypt. During encryption, SNSLocker appends the name of each encrypted file with the .RSNSLocker (or .RSNSlocked) extension.

What is .777?

.777 is a file-encrypting ransomware-type virus. This malware uses asymmetric encryption to encrypt victims' files. During encryption, .777 ransomware generates two keys - public and private (public to encrypt files, private to decrypt). Note that decryption without this key is impossible.

Therefore, developers of .777 demand a ransom in exchange for this key. Furthermore, .777 extends the name of each encrypted file with a “[email protected]$.777” extension. Thus, it is straightforward to determine which files are encrypted.

What is GenieGamer?

GenieGamer is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that supposedly allows users to play various addictive arcade games. On initial inspection, GenieGamer may seem legitimate and useful, however, due to rogue behavior, this PUP is classed as adware.

One of the main reasons for these negative associations is stealth installation without users' consent - GenieGamer often infiltrates systems during installation of other programs. Once infiltrated, this PUP generates various intrusive online advertisements and tracks users' web browsing activity.

What is SeginChile?

SeginChile is ransomware-type malware that utilizes an open source ransomware kit called 'eda2'. Following infiltration, SeginChile employs the AES-256 algorithm to encrypt various files stored within victims' files.

What kind of malware is TeslaCrypt?

TeslaCrypt is a malicious program that encrypts users' files using AES encryption. Malware of this type is called ransomware. Once the files are encrypted, payment for a private key (used to decrypt files) is demanded.

What is GhostCrypt?

GhostCrypt is ransomware-type malware designed to hijack computers and encrypt various stored files (for example, .bmp, .css, .jpeg, etc.) To encrypt these files, GhostCrypt uses an asymmetric encryption algorithm and, thus, public and private keys are generated during encryption.

Furthermore, this malware adds a .Z81928819 extension to the name of each encrypted file, making it straightforward to determine which files are compromised. Once GhostCrypt encryption is complete, the malware demands a ransom payment to restore compromised files.
