The STOP Ransomware family keeps growing, and now Toec Ransomware has joined it. Unsurprisingly, this malicious infection is identical to hundreds of others that came before it. A few of them include Nols Ransomware, Noos Ransomware, and Boot Ransomware.

Do not let Hakbit Ransomware encrypt your files because it is unlikely that you will be able to restore them back to normal. If you want to prevent this malware from slithering in, our best advice is to keep your operating system updated and protected. To add a separate layer of protection for your personal files, create backups outside the operating system. Do NOT connect to backups if your system is infected, and all of your files are encrypted because you do not want to put your backups at risk too. ...
Nols Ransomware might disable your Task Manager and start encrypting your files if it gets in. Our specialists say that the malware’s victims might be tricked into thinking they are launching updates when, in reality, they may open the threat’s installer. To make it look more convincing, the malicious application could open a fake updates message that might claim a user should not turn off his computer while the system is being updated. If you fall for this, the malware might be able to encipher all of your photos, archives, documents, and various other personal files. ...
Kiss Ransomware marks all files it encrypts with a “kiss.” To be more precise, the threat appends an extension that is called .kiss to the victim’s files that it locks with a strong encryption algorithm. In front of it, there should also be a unique user ID number and an email address that belongs to the malware’s creators. For instance, files on our test computer were marked with the following combination: [id-N6LpOP4n].[decodor@airmail.cc].kiss. After encrypting files, the malicious program ought to drop a file with contact information. It is not an unusual practice as many similar threats do not show detailed instructions on how to decrypt files, but leave it for a user to find out. ...
Do you value documents and photos stored on your computer? If you do, the entrance of Ccryptor Ransomware will be very nerve-wracking. This infection slithers in silently, but it does not stay silent. Instead, it exposes itself as soon as all personal files are encrypted, and the “.ccryptor” extension is added to their names. Do not bother changing the name, removing the extension, or even opening the file. If it was encrypted, it is no longer readable, and it will not be readable unless you apply a decryptor. Do you know where to get it? At the time of research, third-party decryptors that could help did not exist, and it was probably not possible to decrypt files manually. ...
It is not that hard for Sorryforthis Ransomware to slither into your Windows operating system, and when it does that, it starts encrypting personal files. Amongst the files that might end up being corrupted, you are likely to find photos and documents, videos and music files, as well as archives. The damage caused by this malware totally depends on what kinds of files exist on your operating system. For example, if it is your office computer that is infected, maybe you do not need to worry about childhood photos, but your work documents might be just as important. ...
3442516480@qq.com Ransomware is one of those infections that you can let in by accident when downloading software from unreliable sources or opening files attached to misleading spam emails.

Asus Ransomware can be identified with the help of the “.id-{ID}.[DataBack@qbmail.biz].asus” extension appended to the files that this malware corrupts. The extension is a mere marker, but some victims might attempt to remove it from their files. Unfortunately, that is a futile action because an encrypted file cannot be restored back to its usual form just by changing its name. A decryptor is needed for that, and you cannot download it online. In some cases, ransomware researchers are able to crack the code and release a free decryptor, but that is not the case with this infection. ...
