Nnuz Ransomware
The Nnuz Ransomware is a threat, which sole purpose is to lock its victims' data so they will not be able to reach it. The Nnuz Ransomware will impact crucial file types, including archives, databases, pictures, PDFs, documents, audio and video. That is the way the attackers found to make easy money by demanding a ransom payment from their victims. Security researchers that analyzed the Nnuz Ransomware code, concluded that the threat is a variant from the STOP/Djvu family. The Nnuz Ransomware exhibits the same behavior as other members of the family. However, it uses a different file extension to mark the locked files, 'nnuz.' The Nnuz Ransomware will then create a ransom note, which will take the form of a text file named '_readme.txt.'
Ransom Note's Overview
The instructions provided by the people behind the Nnuz Ransomware are not different from other STOP/Djvu Ransomware members. Therefore, they ask for an initial sum of $980 in case they want to get the decryption key to restore their files. However, affected users that contact the attackers within the first 72 hours can reduce this amount to 50%, or $490.
