**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.

I**MPORTANT UPDATE: June 6, 2020**

*Beware of fake STOP ransomware decryptor.*

*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.*

    Emsisoft has obtained and uploaded to their server OFFLINE KEYS for the following new STOP (Djvu) variants....gero, .hese, .seto, .peta, .moka, .meds, .kvag, .domn, .karl, .nesa, .noos, .kuub, .reco, .bora, .nols, .werd, .coot, .derp, .meka, .mosk, .peet, .mbed, .kodg, .zobm, .msop, .hets as noted in Post #9297 and elsewhere in the support topic.

    ** If there is no OFFLINE KEY for the variant you are dealing with OR if it is one of the newer STOP (Djvu) variants released after the criminals made changes in August 2019, we cannot help you unless an OFFLINE KEY is retrieved and added to the Emsisoft server / decryptor.

    ** If an OFFLINE KEY is available for the variant you are dealing with and your files were not decrypted by Emsisoft Decryptor, then you most likely were encrypted by an ONLINE KEY and those files are not recoverable since they are not decryptable unless you pay the ransom.
