Threat Database Ransomware Byya Ransomware

Byya Ransomware

The Byya Ransomware threat is another threatening variant that belongs to the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family. Although the threat is for the most part identical to the other variants released by cybercriminals, it can still wreak havoc on the infected computers or devices. The Byya Ransomware will initiate an encryption process that will leave the vast majority of the data found on the breached system in an unusable state.

Upon encrypting a targeted file, the threat also will modify that file's original name. More specifically, the malware will append '.byaa' to the filenames as a new extension. Another change to the system will be the creation of a new text file named '_readme.txt.' Inside the file, victims of the threat will find a ransom note with instructions from the attackers

Ransom Note's Details

In general, the ransom-demanding message of Byya Ransomware follows closely the established STOP/Djvu pattern. The threat states that restoration of the locked files is only possible after receiving the decryption keys and the software tool from the hackers. To do so, victims are extorted into paying a ransom of $980. If contact with the cybercriminals is established within 72 hours of the breach, the sum of the ransom will supposedly be decreased by 50% to $490. Affected users also are told that they can attach a single encrypted file to their messages, which will be unlocked for free. According to the ransom note, two email addresses can be used for this purpose - 'manager@time2mail.ch' and 'supportsys@airmail.cc.'
