Qlnn Ransomware
Qlnn Ransomware is a file-blocking ransomware infection that prevents computer users from accessing their data, such as videos, documents, images, etc., by corrupting the targeted files. To corrupt the files, Qlnn will encrypt them with a hard-to-break encryption algorithm and change their names by adding the '.qlln' extension to the end of their names. The objective of the file encryption is to demand a ransom from the infected users if they want to recover the inaccessible data.
When the file encryption is done, Qlnn Ransomware will display a file named '_readme.txt' containing the demands of the attackers, as well as the means to contact them. They inform that victims should use the email addresses 'support@sysmail.ch' and 'helprestoremanager@airmail.cc.'
The ransom note displayed by Qlnn reads:
'ATTENTION!

Therefore, if you are not accessing your files and notice that they now have the weird '.qlln.' extension appended to their names, this means that the Qlln malware, a member of the STOP/Djvu Ransomware family has infected your computer. The recommended course of action is to scan your computer with an updated anti-malware product and remove the threat presented by Qlln.
