Fefg Ransomware

The Fefg Ransomware is a malware threat that lacks many unique characteristics. After all, it is another variant created from the ever-growing STOP/Djvu Ransomware family. Despite this fact, computer users should not underestimate the damage that Fefg can cause. Infected systems will be scanned and all targeted file types will be rendered unusable via an uncrackable encryption routine.

Each locked file will have a new file extension - '.fefg' appended to its name. Victims of the threat also will notice the appearance of a new text file on the breached devices. Named '_readme.txt,' this file will contain a ransom note with details about the demands of the cybercriminals responsible for spreading Fefg Ransomware.

Ransom Note's Details

The Fefg Ransomware's operators extort their victims for a ransom of $980. That initial sum can potentially be decreased by 50% to $490. According to the ransom note, this offers is available to users to contact the attackers within 72 hours of the ransomware infection. Of course, there is absolutely no guarantee that the hackers will keep their end of the deal and send the required decryption keys and software tools even after being paid.

The instructions in the note also stated that affected users can attach one encrypted file to their messages. If the file doesn't contain any important data, it will be unlocked and returned for free. As means of communication, Fefg Ransomware provides 2 email addresses (restorealldata@firemail.cc and gorentos@bitmessage.ch) and a Telegram account (@datarestore).
