Ransomware - $$$

The $$$ Crypto-Ransomware, or LokerAdmin, was discovered at the beginning of 2020 and is known to have used the .$$$, .texyz, and .8NWm8Y file extensions when encrypting files using the Salsa20 stream cipher. The ransom note dropped asks victims to email the ransomware operators directly with a unique code based on the victim's machine. Because the operators request direct communication, their method of payment is unknown. Although it is believed to be in a form of cryptocurrency.
