Agenda Ransomware Will Encrypt Your Files

A new strain of file-encrypting malware was spotted in the wild by independent security researcher Petrovic.

The new strain is called the Agenda ransomware and it does not seem to belong to any particular big family of ransomware clones. The malware will encrypt the majority of files on a victim system and append the ".OnHnnBvUej" extension to encrypted files. This would make a file previously called "document.txt" turn into "document.txt.OnHnnBvUej" once it has been encrypted.

The ransomware encrypts the vast majority of files found on the targeted system, including most media, archive and document extensions.

The ransom note is dropped inside a file with a name generated for each instance, following this pattern: "[random_string]-RECOVER-README.txt".

The ransom note's text is as follows:

-- Agenda

Your network/system was encrypted.

Encrypted files have new extension.

-- Compromising and sensitive data
