What is Go?

Go is newly-discovered ransomware that infiltrates systems and encrypts files using AES cryptography. This malware is named after Go - a programming language used to design it. This is the first time a ransomware-type virus is seen in this programming language - most are written using C#, C++, and other professional object-oriented programming languages.

During encryption, Go renames all compromised files by generating a series of random characters and appending the ".enc" extension. For instance, an encrypted file might be renamed to "FBdfg8JKsdg2l11!km.enc", which makes it impossible to identify the original files.

Following successful encryption, Go creates an "Instructions.html" file and places it in each folder containing encrypted files.
