Uyit Ransomware

Uyit Ransomware is a malicious threat that encrypts the files of its targets, appends a '.uyit' extension to their filenames, and then leaves ransom notes in the form of '_readme.txt' files. Uyit is one of many variants of the infamous STOP/Djvu ransomware family. It is common for this type of ransomware to be distributed along with other malicious threats, such as information stealers like Vidar and RedLine.

The cybercriminals are offering a 50% discount if you contact them within 72 hours, bringing the price of the demanded ransom down to $490 from the initial $980. The threat's ransom note instructs victims to contact the support@fishmail.top and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc email addresses in order to receive additional instructions. Victims can also send one locked file to Uyit Ransomware's operators to be decrypted for free.

However, it is strongly recommended not to succumb to cybercriminals' demands and instead take action by seeking professional help in recovering your data. Don't risk losing both your important files and money!
