Utjg Ransomware
Cybercriminals are continuing to churn out more and more variants based on the STOP/Djvu Ransomware threat. The Utjg Ransomware also is classified as belonging to this prolific malware family. Despite lacking any major improvements over the other STOP/Djvu Ransomware threats, Utjg's destructive capabilities are significant. The threat can lock a wide variety of file types via an uncrackable encryption algorithm. Its victims are then extorted for money if they want to get their valuable data back.
As part of the encryption process, Utjg modifies the names of the affected files by appending '.utjg' to them as a new file extension. The malware also delivers a ransom note with instructions on the breached computers. These ransom-demanding messages will be contained inside text files named '_readme.txt.'
Ransom Note's Overview
The ransom note states that the hackers responsible for unleashing Utjg Ransomware want to be paid a ransom of exactly $980. After receiving the funds, the cybercriminals promise to provide their victims with the necessary decryption key and software tool. The note also mentions that users can try to reduce the amount of the ransom by 50% with the only requirement being to message the hackers during the first 72 hours of the ransomware attack. The message also may carry a single encrypted file that is supposed to be unlocked and returned for free. The ransom note mentions two ways that victims can use to reach the hackers - an email address at 'restorealldata@firemail.cc' and a '@datarestore' Telegram account.
