Ransomware

Theft ransomware is a newly discovered offshoot of the well-known Dharma ransomware family, one of the most notorious malware groups active today. Like other Dharma strains, it systematically encrypts files on compromised devices and renames them with the .theft extension, appending a victim’s unique ID and the attacker’s contact email address. Once files are encrypted,…

The PowerLocker 5.4 ransomware family has recently emerged as a serious cybersecurity threat. Victims notice their files renamed with the .PowerLocker extension, indicating encryption. Unlike older ransomware strains, PowerLocker 5.4 leverages a hybrid encryption model that combines AES-256 and RSA, making manual decryption extremely difficult. Our research and recovery specialists have been analyzing this variant…

The .nCRYPTED ransomware is a newly surfaced malware strain, first reported in September 2025 by impacted organizations through the BleepingComputer forums. This variant encrypts files, modifies filenames with a victim-specific ID followed by the extension .nCRYPTED, and drops a ransom instruction note titled HELP_DECRYPT.txt. Attackers demand victims initiate negotiations via secure, anonymous email services. Initially,…

Lamia Loader is a dangerous form of ransomware engineered to encrypt valuable files on compromised systems and demand payment for their restoration. Once deployed, it renames files by appending the extension “.enc.LamiaLoader” and drops a ransom message instructing the victim to transfer cryptocurrency in return for decryption. Affected By Ransomware? Post-Infection Behavior During controlled analysis…

Our solution, built by ransomware experts…

Yurei ransomware is a sophisticated malware family that encrypts a victim’s files and appends the “.Yurei” extension to them. After successful encryption, the attackers leave a ransom message that demands payment in exchange for a decryption key. This strain not only disrupts business operations by locking critical data but also increases pressure by threatening to…
