What Does Fdcv Ransomware Do to your Computer?
A new ransomware variant belonging to the ubiquitous Djvu family was spotted by security researchers. The new strain is called the Fdcv ransomware, named after the file extension the ransomware appends to files after encryption.
The Fdcv ransomware will encrypt the majority of non-essential files on the victim system, including most media and document file types, as well as database files. Once encryption completes, the ransomware will add the ".fdcv" extension to the original extension of encrypted files. This means that a file formerly called "letter.txt" will transform into "letter.txt.fdcv" once it has been fully encrypted.
The ransom note reuses the ransom demand amount and structure that we have seen many times over the past weeks. Ransom is initially $490, and if the victim tries to contact the hacker beyond the first 72 hours following encryption, the ransom is doubled to $980.
Here is the ransom note dropped by Fdcv in a "_readme.txt" file:
