What is the Znto Ransomware?

Znto is a new ransomware clone that was discovered in the first days of 2023. The new variant belongs to the large family of Djvu ransomware clones.

Znto encrypts almost every single file on the victim system. Encrypted file types that are affected will include most media, document and archive extensions.

Once encrypted, the files receive a new extension in the form of the ".znto" string. The new extension is appended after the old one, which means a file originally called "document.txt" will turn into "document.txt.znto" after it has been encrypted.

The ransomware will deposit its ransom demands inside a plain text file named "_readme.txt". The ransom note follows the usual template shared among all Djvu clones and reads as follows:
