Hi All

I can't get hold of the dropper, but the one thing I am wondering for users, is the .lnk and personal files, .jpg, .docx, .mp3 etc.

Does the ransom encrypt the files or does it move the original files to another location, maybe hidden, then create .html files in the original location like "my photo.jpg.html"

Thanks

Quads

users are saying their photos etc have changed. Are they not encrypted but instead moved and a html file created in its place.

Like part of this log I found on pastebin
