Qqlo Ransomware

The Qqlo Ransomware is a variant from the still popular among cybercriminals STOP/Djvu malware family. The STOP/Djvu Ransomware strain has been used for the creation of numerous, threatening variants that although barely distinguishable from each other, are still capable of causing significant damage to the infected devices. Qqlo is not an exception. Affected systems will be subjected to data encryption that will leave documents, PDFs, photos, archives, databases, and many other file types stored on them in an unusable and inaccessible state.

Victims will notice that nearly all of their files now carry the '.qqlo' file extension as part of their original names. Another change caused by the threat will be the appearance of an unfamiliar text file named '_readme.txt.' The file contains a detailed ransom note with instructions for the affected users.

The Qqlo Ransomware's operators apparently demand to be paid a ransom of $980. In exchange, they will supposedly provide their victims with a decryptor tool and the decryption keys necessary for the restoration of the files. Of course, trusting the words of cybercriminals is rather risky. The hackers may run away with the money without providing any assistance or they may be unable to fully restore all of the encrypted files. Still, the note mentions that users may pick and send one locked file to be decrypted for free. The cybercriminals leave two email addresses - 'restorealldata@firemail.cc' and 'gorentos@bitmessage.ch,' as well as a Telegram account at '@datarestore.'

The entire ransom-demanding message left by Qqlo Ransomware is:
