The STOP/Djvu family is one of the most threatening sources of file-locker variants attacking computer users nowadays. Cybercriminals are unleashing new members of this infamous family almost every day. One of the recently uncovered STOP/Djvu versions that can attack your machine and encrypt your files is the Ooyb Ransomware. It might infect your machine via deceptive content,fake downloads, spam emails containing corrupted links and attachments. To make sure that the Ooyb Ransomware will not invade your machine, you should use up-to-date anti-malware software 24/7.
When the Oovb Ransomware attacks a computer, the files stored on it will be subjected to an encryption process, which will make their content to be inaccessible no matter what you do. To make things worse, reversing this chaotic situation is only possible if the victims have the decryption software, which the operators of the Oovb Ransomre keep on their servers. However, they will not share it without a payment – they demand to be paid $980 in exchange for the decryption key. They also offer a 50% discount to the victims that contact them within 72 hours after the attack; they will need to pay $490 and no matter the amount, the payment needs to be made with Bitcoins
The Oovb Ransomware changes the encrypted file names by adding the 'oovb' extension to them and displays the '_readme.txt' ransom note on the victims' desktop. They also provide the following email addresses for contact, support@bestyourmail.ch and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc If you already have your data damaged by the Oovb Ransomware, the advice is that you should not pay the ransom and only contact them to acce[t the free decryption of your files. Our suggestion is to run an anti-malware scanner to remove the threat and look for free data recovery tools.
