What is RaRansomware?

RaRansomware is a ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researcher, Karsten Hahn. Once infiltrated, RaRansomware encrypts most stored files using AES-128 and RSA-1028 encryption algorithms. During encryption, RaRansomware renames each file using the "[16_random_characters].EGENH" pattern.

For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "NGBaAGoAcCBnAA==.EGENH". Updated variants of this ransomware use ".KUAJW" extension for encrypted files. Following successful encryption, RaRansomware generates an HTML file ("RaRansomware - Recovery instructions.html") and places a copy in each existing folder.
