**IMPORTANT UPDATE: March 14, 2024**

**StopCrypt: Most widely distributed ransomware now evades detection** [**https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/stopcrypt-most-widely-distributed-ransomware-now-evades-detection/**](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/stopcrypt-most-widely-distributed-ransomware-now-evades-detection/ "www.bleepingcomputer.com")

 **IMPORTANT UPDATE: April 12, 2022**  

**According to information previously provided on the Emsisoft Forum, they no longer have any method to decrypt STOP (DJVU) Ransomware unless the encryption occurred before the 29th of August 2019.**That means there is **no way to decrypt files** with **Online-ID and some recent forms of STOP (DJVU)**. However, victims should at least keep trying the [**Emsisoft Decryptor**](https://www.emsisoft.com/ransomware-decryption-tools/stop-djvu "www.emsisoft.com") if infected with an OFFLINE KEY.

*A fake decryptor for the STOP Djvu Ransomware is being distributed that lures already desperate people with the promise of free decryption. Instead of getting their files back for free, they are infected with another ransomware that makes their situation even worse.*

    More information is needed to determine what infection you are dealing with?

    Are there any obvious file extensions appended to or with your encrypted data files? If so, what is the extension and is it the same for each encrypted file or is it different? Some types of ransomware will completely rename, encrypt or even scramble file names while others do not append any extensions.

    .

    Did you find any ransom notes and if so, what is the actual name of the ransom note?

    Can you provide the ransom note contents?

    Did the cyber-criminals provide an email address to send payment to? If so, what is the email address?

    .

    Update 01/25/19:

    If STOPDecrypter gave you a message like "[-] No key for ID: ?E??_^%&&&_TAGSDz?engD??D??BPS DUR" or basically a bunch of garbage (so anything not a-z, A-Z, or 0-9), then that file was likely not encrypted to begin with. It appears the malware could not handle large files and may have just added an extension without actually encrypting the file. STOPDecrypter v2.0.1.5 has been updated to try to detect this case and it will simply rename the file for you.
