OFWW Ransomware Joins the Ever Growing STOP/Djvu Ransomware Family
SHARE

The STOP/Djvu Ransomware Family strikes again with OFWW Ransomware. Like other associated strains of the popularly used malware threat, this ransomware locks files and then demands a ransom fee to restore file access. 

Ransomware can be distributed via software bundles, so if you tend to download freeware or pirated apps via torrent or cracked software sites, you may end up installing threats like OFWW Ransomware. 

OFWW Ransomware locks most of the popular file types, including photos, music, documents, and videos. During the file encryption process, OFWW Ransomware adds the .OFWW extension to affected files, leaving a ransom note on the user’s desktop and in every folder that contains encrypted files.

Unfortunately, an online decryption tool that can unlock encrypted files is not currently available. The only reliable way to recover affected files is to restore them from a backup. Victims can also attempt to use alternative data recovery options, but there is no guarantee that alternative data recovery tools will be able to unlock all the encrypted files. 

Once downloaded and installed, OFWW Ransomware employs the AES encryption algorithm to lock up target files. It then demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. The decryption key costs $980, but the ransomware’s operators will offer a 50% discount and only charge $490, if the victim contacts them within the first 72 hours after infection.

The hackers can be contacted at support@bestyourmail.ch and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc. We discourage establishing contact with the hackers, however, as there is no guarantee that they will provide decryption tools after payment or even communicate with you. 

How Do I Deal with the OFWW Ransomware Infection?

To protect yourself from the OFWW Ransomware attack, you should practice safe web browsing habits like refraining from opening email attachments from unknown senders and downloading programs from unreliable sources. You should also have a reputable malware remediation tool installed on your computer. That way, you can regularly scan for elements associated with this troublesome ransomware infection and other malware. Also, to reduce the potential damage of a future ransomware infection, please consider backing up your files on an external hard drive or cloud storage.
