The filenames receive the '.JLQUF' extension and something like 'Church of Our Lady Victorious.pptx' is renamed to 'Church of Our Lady Victorious.pptx.JLQUF.' The ransom message provided by the Kraken Cryptor 2.0.5 Ransomware is packed as 'Instructions.txt,' and it is dropped to the user's desktop. The content of 'Instructions.txt' reads:
