Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Wallet is a new variant of high-risk ransomware called BTCWare. Immediately after infiltration, Wallet encrypts stored data and adds the ".[paydayz@cock.li]-id-[victim's_ID].wallet" extension to the name of each compromised file. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.[paydayz@cock.li]-id-11B0.wallet".

Note that the ".wallet" extension is also used by the Dharma, GlobeImposter, and CryptoMix viruses. To determine which ransomware has infected your computer, inspect the full extension (different ransomware families use different filename patterns).
