What is Zendaya ransomware?
Zendaya is a malicious program categorized as ransomware. This means that it encrypts all user files on the victims’ computers so that it can demand money for their decryption.
Ransomware viruses number in thousands, however, not all of them are unique. Many share parts of their code so that more variants can be produced. Groups of viruses that share code with each other are called families. Zendaya is a part of the VoidCrypt ransomware family; as such, it is similar to other viruses in it.
When Zendaya encrypts the files, it also renames them. Three pieces of information get appended to the end of each name: an ID, the victim’s e-mail, and .Zendaya file extension.
After this, two ransom notes are created, “Decryption-Guide.HTA” and “Decryption-Guide.txt”. Although they look different, they contain the same text (which you can read on the image above). The notes contain some instructions, but do not mention any specific price; the hacker intends to negotiate the price with each victim.
However, contacting the hacker involves several risks. For example, they can attack you again in the future, or simply take payment and not decrypt any files. This is why you may be interested in alternative ways to remove Zendaya ransomware and decrypt .Zendaya files. Some are described in the guide below.
