Matu Ransomware
The Matu Ransomware is a file-blocking threat and a member of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family. The Matu Ransomware executes a vicious attack on the targeted machines, which damages the most necessary files on the computer, by using encryption that is typically unbreakable without the right tools. Recent backups in safe places and anti-malware erasing the Matu Ransomware are both crucial for all Windows users. As with any ransomware threat, the goal of the Matu Ransomware is to extort its victims. It asks for a ransom of $980 initially, which and be reduced to $490, or 50% off if the victim acts in the first 72 hours after being attacked.
The Matu Ransomware has an arbitrary name, with four random characters that it uses as an extension ('.matu'), which it appends to any files that it locks with strong encryption features. Usually, there is no meaning behind the names of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware variants. However, the Matu Ransomware's data encryption takes various media files on the victim's computer as hostages.
Malware analysts recommend implementing security standards to reduce infections, such as the one caused by the Matu Ransomware. Users also should be very attentive and watch for all likely infection vectors, such as e-mail attachments, illegal downloads like some torrents, and bogus software updates. Password security also is critical.
Although the Matu Ransomware promises to send the software necessary to get back the encrypted data, these people don't necessarily honor their obligations. It is highly discouraged to pay a ransom, no matter the case.
Anti-malware services can't unlock or decrypt the data the Matu Ransomware sabotages. However, they are able to delete the Matu Ransomware on sight, which is the right thing to do.
The ransom message that the Matu Ransomware presents to its victims reads:
