What kind of malware is Hyj?

Our researchers found the Hyj ransomware while reviewing new submissions to the VirusTotal website. This malicious program belongs to the Xorist ransomware family. Hyj encrypts data and demands payment for its decryption.

After we launched a sample of this ransomware on our test machine, it encrypted files and appended their filenames with a ".hyj" extension. For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" appeared as "1.jpg.hyj", "2.png" as "2.png.hyj", and so on for all of the compromised files.

After the encryption process was completed, identical ransom notes in Russian – a pop-up window and a text file named "КАК РАСШИФРОВАТЬ ФАЙЛЫ.txt" – were created. Note that if the system does not have the Cyrillic alphabet, the text in the pop-up will appear as garbled nonsense.
