What is MosaicLoader?
MosaicLoader is a loader/backdoor type malicious program. It is designed to open a "backdoor" for other malware.

What is Desifrujmujpocitac2021 ransomware?
Desifrujmujpocitac2021 is a ransomware-type malicious program. This malware is designed to encrypt data and demand ransoms for the decryption. In other words, it renders files inaccessible, and asks victims to pay - to recover access to their data.
During the encryption process, affected files are appended with a random extension. For example, a file like "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.i7g5", "2.jpg" as "2.jpg.x335", "3.jpg" as "3.jpg.7t04", and so forth. After this process is complete, a ransom note - "read_it.txt" - is dropped onto the desktop.
What is Moqs ransomware?
Moqs is a malicious program belonging to the Djvu ransomware family. It is designed to encrypt data and demand ransoms for the decryption. In other words, this ransomware renders files inaccessible, and victims are asked for payment - to recover access to their data.
During the encryption process, affected files are appended with the ".moqs" extension. For example, a file initially named something like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.moqs", "2.jpg" as "2.jpg.moqs", "3.jpg" as "3.jpg.moqs", and so forth. After this process is complete, a ransom note is created in a text file titled "_readme.txt".
What is Haron ransomware?
Similar to Avaddon and based on Thanos, Haron is a piece of malicious software classified as ransomware. It is designed to encrypt data (render files inaccessible/unusable) and demand payment for the decryption (access/use recovery). During the encryption process, affected files are retitled.
Since Haron is a targeted ransomware, it adds an extension to files according to the company name. The first victim was the CHADDAD Group; hence, the extension files are appended with is ".chaddad". For example, a file originally titled "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.chaddad", "2.jpg" and "2.jpg.chaddad", and so on.
After this process is complete, identical ransom notes are created in "RESTORE_FILES_INFO.txt" and "RESTORE_FILES_INFO.hta" files, which are dropped onto the desktop.
What is Queclink ransomware?
Queclink is a ransomware-type program designed to encrypt data (render files inaccessible) and demand payment for the decryption (access recovery). During the encryption process, files are appended with the ".queclink" extension. For example, a file initially named something similar to "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.queclink", and so forth.
After this process is complete, ransom notes are created in a pop-up ("RESTORE_FILES_INFO.hta") and "RESTORE_FILES_INFO.txt" text file. Queclink also creates a file titled according to infected machine's username (e.g., "TOMASMESKAUFFFE_1E857D00BFEBFBFF000A0655.txt"). All of these files are dropped onto the desktop.
