What is Qweuirtksd?

Qweuirtksd is another ransomware virus discovered by Michael Gillespie. Following successful infiltration, Qweuirtksd encrypts most stored data using AES-128 cryptography. Therefore, compromised files immediately become unusable. During encryption, this malware appends a random string (".qweuirtksd") to each filename.

For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.qweuirtksd". As well as encrypting files, Qweuirtksd generates a text file ("!!!ReadMeToDecrypt.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder. The new text file provides information regarding the current situation following encryption.
