Aac Ransomware is a new variant of the NMoreira Ransomware infection that was discovered last year. It is believed that both infections were created by the same cyber criminal or group of cyber criminals, but there is no denying that they have many differences. For example, the original ransomware was found to remove itself after the encryption was complete, appropriate registry keys were added, and the ransom note file was created. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has not observed this to be the case with the newer variant. Also, the messages hidden in the launcher file are different. The first original one was specifically addressed to the malware research community, while the new ransomware has a message for researchers who managed to decrypt NMoreira Ransomware. At the time of research, a decryptor that would work with the new version of the threat did not exist, and it is possible that it will not be developed at all. While the decryption of files might be impossible, deleting Aac Ransomware is something anyone can handle, and that should be done sooner rather than later. Read more »
