Worry Ransomware: A Phobos Family Variant Encrypting Files and Demanding Ransom

Worry is one of the ransomware variants belonging to the Phobos family.

It encrypts data, modifies filenames of all encrypted files, and creates two ransom notes ("info.hta" and "info.txt").

Our malware researchers discovered Worry while checking the VirusTotal for recently submitted samples.

Worry ransomware appends the victim's ID, [email protected] email address, and the ".worry" extension to filenames.
