Shasha Ransomware
The Shasha Ransomware is a potent threat that can cause serious damage to the systems it manages to infect. The threat is designed to encrypt a wide variety of file types, rendering them both inaccessible and unusable. Users can lose their documents, PDFs, archives, databases and more.
Each locked file will be marked by having '.shasha' appended to its original name as a new extension. When all targeted files stored on the infected system have been encrypted, Shasha will proceed to deliver a ransom note with instructions for the victims, while also changing the current desktop wallpaper. The ransom-demanding message is contained inside a text file named 'READ_ME.txt.'
Demand's Overview
According to the ransom note, users affected by Shasha Ransomware will have to pay a ransom of exactly $50. The sum must be transferred to the provided crypto-wallet address using the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. After receiving the money, the hackers promise to send the victims a decryption tool that could potentially unlock their files.
Entering into negotiations with cybercriminals is never recommended. Users risk exposing themselves to additional risks while getting no guarantees that the hackers will keep their part of the deal.
