What is Ogre Ransomware? And how does it work?
Ogre Ransomware or Ogre RansomWare is still in its development phase. However, its full version can be released eventually so you should not waste any time in removing it from your computer. This ransomware aims to be like the famous Petya ransomware which is a well-known threat. It is named as Ogre ransomware because it appends the .ogre file extension using the AES 256 algorithm and then uses the RSA algorithm to make the decryption key out of your reach. According to security experts, the Ogre ransomware is mostly designed to make your files unusable and is created to attack individual computer rather than businesses. Despite the fact that this ransomware is not sophisticated since it does not have a Command and Control server to carry out its attack, you must do everything you can to eliminate this threat due to the simple reason that it still uses a strong encryption. After the encryption process, it releases a ransom note containing the following message:
“the Ogre Ransomware
Your files have been encrypted.
The only way to recover them is to send 20€ in bitcoin to this adress.
(Programme test)
Note: Critical files have been encrypted.
If you stop your computer, there are high chance your computer will be unusable for ever.
Enter your bitcoin adress used to pay
button [Decrypt]
button [Check payment]”

And make sure you have a trusted antivirus and anti malware program to scan any attachments or downloads before you open them.
