The Shujin Ransomware is a Trojan encryptor that looks like to be crafted to infect and extort Chinese computer users. The Shujin Ransomware, as other ransomware Trojans, encrypts its victim's files and demands the payment of a ransom. The ransom notes that the Shujin Ransomware displays are written in Chinese. Another tell tail is that the computer users should use the Baidu search access the Tor browser and not another popular search engine. The Tor browser provides anonymity to its users, and the browser will give access to an undisclosed site that makes clear to the computer users how they can decrypt the files encrypted by the Shujin Ransomware.
To get back the encrypted data, the infected computer user needs to download a decryption tool and obtain a machine code. After that, the infected computer users need to submit the machine code to the decryption site. Then the user should buy 1 BTC (around 888 USD) and send it to a particular Bitcoin address. After the payment, the victims will supposedly receive the decryption key. However, there's no way to be sure if these con artists will grant their share of the deal and provide the promised decryption application, which makes the ransom payment a risky action. Ransomware Trojans can be removed manually. However, it is a complicated task, and the safest way to remove Trojans is by using a professional anti-malware product.
