Ransomware does not care about the contents of the data or whether your files are already will just encrypt (re-encrypt) them again.Īny files that are encrypted with Buran Ransomware (a variant of VegaLocker > Jamper) will have a unique GUID-like Alphanumeric character extension (i.e.3674AD9F-5958-4F2A-5CB7-F0F56A8885EA) appended to the end of the encrypted data filename, a filemaker with the word "BURAN" or "STORM" and leave files (ransom note) named !!! YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!!.TXT as explained here by Amigo-A (Andrew Ivanov). Crypto malware can be responsible for dual (multiple) infections since it will encrypt any directory or file it can read/write to. You may have been hit with more than one ransomware infection.
