Joseph Romeika is the name of a malicious program classified as ransomware. It operates by encrypting data to demand payment for the decryption. In other words, this malware renders files inaccessible and asks victims to pay - to restore access to their data.

During the encryption process, files are appended with an ".infected by joseph romeika" extension. For example, a file initially titled "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.infected by joseph romeika". After the completion of this process, ransom notes - "read_it.txt" - are dropped into compromised folders.
