Moresa Ransomware

The Moresa Ransomware is a file cryptor Trojan that was discovered on April 21st, 2019. The Moresa Ransomware may be listed in AV databases as STOP-Moresa Ransomware as well. The Moresa Ransomware is not a new cyber-threat, and it has been categorized as a variant of the STOP Djvu Ransomware that is a member of the STOP Ransomware family. The Moresa Ransomware is a slightly modified copy of the STOP Djvu Ransomware, which made classification relatively easy, but the Trojan removes system backups, and the users may be unable to restore their data. The Moresa Ransomware Trojan is known to delete Shadow Volume snapshots and encipher databases. The Moresa Ransomware behaves as most threats in the class, and you can expect to lose access to audio records, video, family photos, presentations, spreadsheets, eBooks and PDFs. The cyber-threat was named after the file marker found on enciphered data, namely the '.moresa' extension. For example, 'Larharyhma-Villi yo.mp3' is renamed to 'Larharyhma-Villi yo.mp3.moresa.' The ransom message is presented as '_readme.txt' that is usually located on the desktop. The '_readme.txt' file includes the following text:

Removing the Moresa Ransomware should not be too difficult when you are using a respected computer security tool.
