![MiniMe Ransomware](/images/thumbnails/th-26987-minime-ransomware.jpg)
What kind of malware is MiniMe?
Our research team discovered the MiniMe ransomware while inspecting new submissions to the VirusTotal website. This malicious program is based on the Chaos ransomware.
After we executed a sample of MiniMe on our test machine, it encrypted files and appended their filenames with a ".minime" extension. To elaborate, a file originally titled "1.jpg" appeared as "1.jpg.minime", "2.png" as "2.png.minime", etc.
Once the encryption process was completed, the ransomware created a ransom note named "read_it.txt". The message contained invalid contact information, leading us to believe that MiniMe is still in development.

![Ahtw Ransomware](/images/thumbnails/th-26985-ahtw-ransomware.jpg)
What kind of malware is Ahtw?
Ahtw is ransomware associated with the Djvu family. It encrypts files on the victim's computer and requests a ransom for the decryption tools. Our team encountered Ahtw during the analysis of recently submitted malware samples on the VirusTotal platform. It is worth mentioning that Ahtw may be distributed alongside other malware, including RedLine or Vidar.
Once Ahtw infects a computer, it appends the ".ahtw" extension to the filename of every encrypted file. For example, a file named "1.jpg" gets renamed to "1.jpg.ahtw", "2.png" to "2.png.ahtw", and so forth. Additionally, Ahtw creates a ransom note ("_readme.txt").

Here is an example of how Ahgr alters file names: it transforms "1.jpg" into "1.jpg.ahgr", "2.png" into "2.png.ahgr", and so on. It is important to mention that Ahgr, being part of the Djvu ransomware family, may be distributed alongside information stealers like Vidar and RedLine.

Ahui blocks access to files by encrypting them and alters their filenames by appending a new extension (".ahui"). Furthermore, it generates a ransom note (a text file named "_readme.txt").
To illustrate, Ahui modifies file names in the following manner: it changes "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.ahui", "2.png" to "2.png.ahui", and so on. It is important to note that ransomware associated with the Djvu family is often distributed alongside information stealers like Vidar and RedLine.
