EveRed Ransomware
The EveRed Ransomware is a threat designed to lock the files of its victims. To achieve its nefarious goal, it initiates an encryption process with an uncrackable cryptographic algorithm. Afterward, the attackers demand to be paid a ransom in exchange for sending a decryption tool that could restore the affected data.
The EveRed Ransomware appends the '.evered' extension to each encrypted file. The targeted file types include documents, archives, databases, etc. When the encryption process is completed, the malware delivers a ransom note with instructions for its victims. The message will be placed inside a newly-created text file named 'readme.txt.'
