The clearest sign of the NEWS ransomware encryption is the .*id*.[notgoodnews@tutanota.com].NEWS extension, which is added to the end of the encrypted files names. In the most cases, this virus spreads by the means of various executable files and installators. However, hackers can also easily inject the code of the virus into a regular harmless file and send it by email. Once such an attachment is opened, the virus immediately sneaks into the operating system. When it’s in, ROGER makes some changes in the registry in order to hide its processes and get an access to various functions.
