When .myjob File Extension Ransomware slithers in and corrupts your personal files, it adds an additional extension to their original names: “id-{id}.[goodjob24@foxmail.com].myjob.” This extension includes a unique code that is given to every victim individually. It also includes an email address, about which we talk further in this report. Finally, it includes a final extension, “.myjob,” and this is where the name of the threat comes from. Needless to say, files are encrypted only after the malicious infection finds its way into an operating system.
