The emails from "Complaint Email Virus" deliver a deceptive message encouraging users to open an attached HTML file, which is presented as a complaint regarding a specific purchase. This is a scam.

What is WHY?

First discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie, WHY is a new variant of high-risk ransomware called STOP. Immediately after infiltration, WHY encrypts most stored files and adds the ".WHY" appendix to the name of each compromised file.

For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.WHY". Encrypted files immediately become unusable. As with most of ransomware, after encrypting data, WHY creates a text file ("!!!WHY_MY_FILES_NOT_OPEN!!!.txt") and places a copy in each existing folder.
