Ggwq Ransomware

The Ggwq Ransomware is an injurious threat that cybercriminals can use as part of ransomware attack operations. The Ggwq Ransomware, one more member of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family, is equipped with a military-grade cryptographic algorithm and will target numerous file types, rendering them entirely unusable. Victims will find themselves unable to open important documents, photos, archives, databases, PDFs and more. The goal of the hackers is to extort money from their victims, in exchange for the decryption keys in their possession. Of course, there are no guarantees that ransomware operators will provide the affected users with the keys or decryption software tool.

All files locked by the threat will have '.ggwq' attached to their original names as a new file extension. The malware also will drop a text file named '_readme.txt' on the infected device. The file will contain a ransom note, detailing the demands of the attackers. According to the message, the operators of the Ggwq Ransomware are trying to get $980 from their victims. This initial amount could be reduced by 50% if the impacted users contact the hackers within 72 hours. Two email addresses (restorealldata@firemail.cc and gorentos@bitmessage.ch) and a Telegram account (@datarestore) are mentioned as potential communication channels.
