How to remove MOSK ransomware and decrypt .mosk files

MOSK ransomware encryption process.

MOSK ransomware is one of the newest members of STOP(DJVU) viruses family. These viruses can be described as file-encryption ransomwares, as they prevent users from the accessing to the definite file formats. Among them such well-known viruses, as: TOEC, NAKW, Derp, COOT, Nols, Werd, Ndarod, Leto, Bora and RECO. In the most cases these viruses have the same ways of transmission: they spreads by the means of email attachments, bundles and fake installators. Possibly everyone can face this problem, as these files doesn’t differ from the harmless ones. If your device is already infected with this virus, don’t try to decrypt .mosk files manually, as the encryption is not a simple renaming of files.

The encryption process in all the cases can be characterized, as a two-step process. The first step is scanning for the appropriate files. MOSK ransomware can work only with the definite file formats, like .doc, .jpg, .mp3 and etc. The encryption of all files will take a great amount of time and resources, so there is a great risk, that the virus will be noticed. Once the files are found, the virus begins the encryption process. MOSK ransomware modifes the file structures and adds the new extension – .mosk to the names of these files. To make the owner of the device pay for the decryption services, which hackers provide, it creates a ransom note _readme.txt. The information in this note is the following:
