Vvoo Ransomware Joins Djvu Family

Vvoo is a new ransomware variant that is part of the Djvu ransomware family.

Vvoo works by encrypting the majority of the files found on connected system drives in the victim system. Encrypted file types include media files, documents, archives and databases.

Once a file is encrypted, it receives the ".Vvoo" extension. This process will change a file's name from "archive.zip" to "archive.zip.Vvoo" upon successful encryption.

The ransomware delivers its ransom note inside a plain text file named "_readme.txt".

How can you protect your sensitive files and data from ransomware similar to Vvoo?

1. Regularly back up your data and store it in an external drive or cloud storage service.
2. Install and regularly update antivirus software on all of your devices.
3. Use strong passwords for all of your accounts, and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
4. Be wary of suspicious emails, links, and attachments from unknown sources.
5. Disable macros in Microsoft Office documents from untrusted sources.
6. Keep your operating system and other software up to date with the latest security patches.

Why is it impossible to restore files that have already been encrypted by ransomware?

It is impossible to restore files that have already been encrypted by ransomware because the encryption process used by ransomware is designed to be irreversible. The encryption algorithms used by ransomware are so complex that it is virtually impossible to decrypt the data without the decryption key, which is only available from the attackers.
