Nuow Ransomware is Yet Another Djvu Clone

Nuow is the name of the latest Djvu ransomware clone that was discovered by security researchers.

Nuow encrypts almost every file found on the victim system, except for files essential for the continued operation of Windows. Encrypted files receive the ".nuow" extension and a file previously called "photo.jpg" will turn into "photo.jpg.nuow" upon encryption.

The ransomware will scramble practically every popular document, media, archive and database file type, as well as all executable files.

Once the encryption process finishes, Nuow drops its ransom demands inside a plain text file called "_readme.txt". The ransom note uses the exact wording and template used in all Djvu ransomware clones in recent memory. The full note goes as follows:
